Alice Walker
I was distressed that after 9/11, when the United States was attacked by terrorists, the United States' response was to attack Afghanistan, where some of the terrorists had been.
Alice Walker
Helped are those who are content to be themselves they will never lack mystery in their lives and the joys of self-discovery will be constant.
Alice Walker
This could be our revolution: to love what is plentiful as much as what's scarce.
Alice Walker
I always have felt that elders are really important. I think it's because, in my little Southern black culture, elders really were respected. Everybody listened to them. They may not have agreed - that's a whole different story - but they would totally listen and consider what the elder had to say.
Alice Walker
Whenever you are creating beauty around you, you are restoring your own soul.
Alice Walker
Sometimes, reading a blog, which I do infrequently, I see that generations of Americans have been wilfully crippled, and can no longer spell or write a sentence.
Alice Walker
My parents taught me service - not by saying, but by doing. That was my culture, the culture of my family.
