More quotes by Alice Walker
We must, I believe, start teaching our children the sanity of nonviolence much earlier.
Alice Walker
It is natural to want to have a future.
Alice Walker
I started writing as a child. But I didn't think of myself, actually writing until I was in college. And I had gone to Africa as a sophomore or something, no maybe junior and wrote a book of poems. And that was my beginning. I published that book.
Alice Walker
This could be our revolution: to love what is plentiful as much as what's scarce.
Alice Walker
the world has changed: it did not change without your prayers without your faith without your determination to believe in liberation and kindness without your dancing through the years that had no beat.
Alice Walker
In each of us, there is a little voice that knows exactly which way to go. And I learned very early to listen to it, even though it has caused so much grief and havoc, and I think that is the only answer.
Alice Walker
Any God I ever found in church, I brought in myself.
Alice Walker
Not only will your teachers appear, but they will cook new foods for you.
Alice Walker
Many people are aware that we are in peril and that there is no trustworthy leadership.
Alice Walker
Criticism is painful when it's not done with love.
Alice Walker
Men make war to get attention. All killing is an expression of self-hate.
Alice Walker
I want something else a different system entirely. One not seen on this earth for thousands of years. If ever. Democratic Womanism. Notice how this word has man right in the middle of it? That's one reason I like it. He is right there, front and center. But he is surrounded. I want to vote and work for a way of life that honors the feminine.
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
I'm sure we, the American people, are the butt of jokes by those in power.
Alice Walker
It no longer bothers me that I may be constantly searching for father figures by this time, I have found several and dearly enjoyed knowing them all.
Alice Walker
It matters to me that I feel loved by the universe - and I do.
Alice Walker
It's essential that we understand that taking care of the planet will be done as we take care of ourselves. You know that you can't really make much of a difference in things until you change yourself.
Alice Walker
Meditation is like the cloak of the good thief. You find a corner or somewhere where you can actually entertain your own self and your own soul, and understand what your work [is] here.
Alice Walker
I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it.
Alice Walker
It is healthier, in any case, to write for the adults one's children will become than for the children one's 'mature' critics often are.
Alice Walker
