we are the ones we have been waiting for
Alice Walker
But I don't know how to fight. All I know how to do is stay alive.
Alice Walker
I grew up in the South [USA states] under segregation. I know what terrorism feels like - when your father could be taken out in the middle of the night and lynched just because he didn't look like he was in an obeying frame of mind when a white person said something he must do. That's terrorism, too.
Alice Walker
I've found, in my own writing, that a little hatred, keenly directed, is a useful thing.
Alice Walker
I'm entirely interested in people, and also other creatures and beings, but especially in people, and I tend to read them by emotional field more than anything. So I have a special interest in what they're thinking and who they are and who's hiding behind those eyes and how did he get there, and what's the story, really?
Alice Walker

Alice Walker
Sometimes, reading a blog, which I do infrequently, I see that generations of Americans have been wilfully crippled, and can no longer spell or write a sentence.
Alice Walker
I write not only what I want to read...I write all the things I should have been able to read.
Alice Walker
You know a little drink now and then never hurt nobody, but when you can't git started without asking the bottle, you in trouble.
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
Be an outcast. Be pleased to walk alone.
Alice Walker
This could be our revolution: to love what is plentiful as much as what's scarce.
Alice Walker
The quietly pacifist peaceful always die to make room for men who shout.
Alice Walker
In our particular society, it is the narrowed and narrowing view of life that often wins.
Alice Walker
Laughter isn't even the other side of tears. It is tears turned inside out. Truly the suffering is great, here on earth. We blunder along, shredded by our mistakes, bludgeoned by our faults. Not having a clue where the dark path leads us. But on the whole, we stumble along bravely, don't you think?
Alice Walker
What hurts the most is being misunderstood. They tell me that's an Aquarian trait - that that's the thing we don't like.
Alice Walker
I don't focus on criticism. I prefer to praise people and the world, rather than criticize them and it.
Alice Walker
The long-term accommodation that protects marriage and other such relationships is ... forgetfulness.
Alice Walker
