More quotes by Alice Walker
The artist...is the voice of the people.
Alice Walker
Every small positive change we make in ourselves repays us in confidence in the future.
Alice Walker
All my life I had to fight. I had to fight my daddy. I had to fight my uncles. I had to fight my brothers. Girl, child ain't safe in a family of men, but I ain't never thought I had to fight in my own house. I loves Harpo. God knows I do. But I'll kill him dead before I let him beat me.
Alice Walker
I think the War on Terror is really absurd, especially coming from a country that is founded on terrorism.
Alice Walker
In a way, no matter who's in charge of the corporation that the United States is, the direction in which it is taken seems to be inexorable. So, you just get the job of being the front man for four or eight years. Now, most people realize that's what you are.
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
America is America. It's a capitalist system. They [leaders] have enshrined that belief that profit matters more than anything else. The polarization of the society is just the resurfacing of that.
Alice Walker
I love the natural world - it comes from my culture, which grew out of a people enslaved.
Alice Walker
You don't need organized religion to connect with the universe. Often a church is the only place you can go to find peace and quiet... But it shouldn't be confused with connecting with one's spirit.
Alice Walker
There is always a moment in any kind of struggle when one feels in full bloom. Vivid. Alive. One might be blown to bits in such a moment and still be at peace.
Alice Walker
It just seems clear to me that as long as we are all here, it's pretty clear that the struggle is to share the planet, rather than divide it.
Alice Walker
I think the foundation of everything in my life is wonder.
Alice Walker
Freedom, after all, is like love: the more you give to others, the more you have.
Alice Walker
Writing poems is my way of celebrating with the world that I have not committed suicide the evening before.
Alice Walker
You can just keep going and going and going, and you never get to the end of it because there is no end. The ending is a beginning. If you feel like that, then you accept that wherever you have to stop on this journey, you continue in some other form somewhere else.
Alice Walker
So the best thing is to really work on yourself and opening your own heart and just letting all that stuff [worrying] go. And it is possible. It's sometimes takes a lot of time it's not easy. And a lot of sitting with yourself and trying to work with your own heart.
Alice Walker
Listen, God loves everything you love, and a mess of stuff you don't.
Alice Walker
Any God I ever found in church, I brought in myself.
Alice Walker
Well, capitalism is a big problem, because with capitalism you're just going to keep buying and selling things until there's nothing else to buy and sell, which means gobbling up the planet.
Alice Walker
Fiction is such a world of freedom, it's wonderful. If you want someone to fly, they can fly.
Alice Walker
