More quotes by Alice Walker
People will say to you, Oh, you are fearless. That is so not true. We should stop saying that about people. It's a slander, really.
Alice Walker
My mother had handed down respect for the possibilities...and the will to grasp them.
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
Like I said...fine with me.
Alice Walker
I just like to have words that describe things correctly. Now to me, 'black feminist' does not do that. I need a word that is organic, that really comes out of the culture, that really expresses the spirit that we see in black women. And it's just... womanish.
Alice Walker

Alice Walker
You got to fight them, Celie, she say. I can't do it for you. You got to fight them for yourself. I don't say nothing. I think bout Nettie, dead. She fight, she run away. What good it do? I don't fight, I stay where I'm told. But I'm alive.
Alice Walker

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
A grown child is a dangerous thing.
Alice Walker
I have learned not to worry about love but to honor its coming with all my heart.
Alice Walker
Humans - whatever billions we are - we don't have the control. We are considered expendable, basically.
Alice Walker
HELPED are those who lose their fear of death theirs is the power to envision the future in a blade of grass.
Alice Walker
You must learn to love only that which cannot be stolen.
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
Progress' affects few. Only revolution can affect many.
Alice Walker
Animals can communicate quite well. And they do. And generally speaking, they are ignored
Alice Walker
You know, one race will not be a survivor if the other one dies, and that's something that we should think about.
Alice Walker
It matters to me that I feel loved by the universe - and I do.
Alice Walker
Every small positive change we make in ourselves repays us in confidence in the future.
