More quotes by Alice Walker
We writers - we're the snowflakes of the literary world. We each have our own shape.
Alice Walker
The only way to solace anyone who loved you in life is to be a good memory
Alice Walker
I'm the kind of woman that likes to enjoy herselves in peace.

Alice Walker
Love likes to extend itself. If you receive it in a book - or however you get it - then your duty is to extend it beyond.
Alice Walker
Odinary people don't have a feeling of being loved by the people who manage to get into positions of leadership. They get in there, they make a lot of money, and then they play games with us.
Alice Walker
I continue to care for President Obama and for his family. I think that in many ways they are very courageous people, and I honor that, because I know what it means to live as a black person in a racist America.
Alice Walker
Oh, Celie, unbelief is a terrible thing. And so is the hurt we cause others unknowingly.
Alice Walker

I think that wealthy white people would like to have a country that resembles the Fifties, when all the minorities were tucked away in ghettos and paid in very low wages but on the surface it was very bright and shiny and free and the rest of the world would look on it longingly.
Alice Walker
I have fought and kicked and fasted and prayed and cursed and cried myself to the point of existing.
Alice Walker
People tend to think that life really does progress for everyone eventually, that people progress, but actually only some people progress. The rest of the people don't.
Alice Walker
No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.
Alice Walker
Every small positive change we make in ourselves repays us in confidence in the future.
Alice Walker
We are all substantially flawed, wounded, angry, hurt, here on Earth. But this human condition, so painful to us, and in someways shameful- because we feel we are weak when the reality of ourselves is exposed- is made much more bearable when it is shared, face to face, in words that have expressive human eyes behind them.
Alice Walker
We have elders who [are] misguided and wallowing around in troughs of money with the wrong sort. They're not really good elders for the youth to emulate. The youth rightly don't like them.
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
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
