More quotes by Alice Walker
As we talked of freedom and justice one day for all, we sat down to steaks. I am eating misery, I thought, as I took the first bite. And spit it out.
Alice Walker
War contributes greatly to global warming, which shouldn't surprise us. All those bombs going off, all those rockets, all those planes and helicopters. All that fuel of various kinds being used. It pollutes the air and water of this very fragile and interconnected planet.
Alice Walker
The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men.
Alice Walker
In the far upper corner of my altar is a photo of Joan Crawford in her most fierce Mommy Dearest mode, just to remind me of some of the cost of everyone's hard-earned sweetness and light.
Alice Walker
'Thank you' is the best prayer that anyone could say.
Alice Walker
It must become a right of every person to die of old age. And if we secure this right for ourselves, we can, coincidentally, assure it for the planet.
Alice Walker
No matter how hidden the cruelty, no matter how far off the screams of pain and terror, we live in one world. We are one people.
Alice Walker
But if by some miracle and all our struggle, the earth is spared, only justice to every living being will save humankind.
Alice Walker
To me war is something to be outgrown, recognized as immature, wasteful, and so destructive to life that human beings should shun it ... as they once shunned bubonic plague.
Alice Walker
Those in power must spend a lot of their time laughing at us.
Alice Walker
I don't know. I imagine good teaching as a circle of earnest people sitting down to ask each other meaningful questions. I don't see it as a handing down of answers.
Alice Walker
Activism is the rent I pay for living on this planet.
Alice Walker
HELPED are those who live in quietness, knowing neither brand name nor fad they shall live every day as if in eternity, and each moment shall be as full as it is long.
Alice Walker
Some people don't understand that it is the nature of the eye to have seen forever, and the nature of the mind to recall anything that was ever known.
Alice Walker
It is justice and respect that I want the world to dust off and put - without delay, and with tenderness - back on the head of the Palestinian child. It will be imperfect justice and respect because the injustice and disrespect have been so severe. But I believe we are right to try.
Alice Walker
Wherever I have knocked, a door has opened. Wherever I have wandered, a path has appeared.
Alice Walker
Poetry, I have discovered, is always unexpected and always as faithful and honest as dreams.
Alice Walker
Every soul is to be cherished, every flower is to bloom.
Alice Walker
You don't really stay attached to things. Life goes on, so you don't really sit around and think about how they are relevant to other people. You hope that whatever you create will be [relevant].
Alice Walker
allowing freedom to others brings freedom to ourselves.
