More quotes by 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 see children, all children, as humanity's most precious resource, because it will be to them that the care of the planet will always be left.
Alice Walker
It didn't take long to realize I didn't hardly know nothing. And that if you ast yourself why you black or a man or a woman or a bush it don't mean nothing if you don't ast why you here, period
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

Alice Walker
The good news may be that Nature is phasing out the white man, but the bad news is that's who She thinks we all are.
Alice Walker

Alice Walker
In search of my mother's garden, I found my own.
Alice Walker
I don’t need a certain number of friends, just a number of friends I can be certain of.
Alice Walker
I think America has always been polarized... It's a racist country and it has always been.
Alice Walker
The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any.
Alice Walker
The Animals of the planet are in desperate peril and they are fully aware of this. No less than human beings are doing in all parts of the world, they are seeking sanctuary.
Alice Walker
If you want to have a life that is worth living, a life that expresses your deepest feelings and emotions, and cares and dreams, you have to fight for it.
Alice Walker
I don't require myself or anyone to go beyond what they feel they can do. I just do suggest - for their own eventual happiness - that they go as far as they can. They can usually go much further than they think.
Alice Walker
My work is about my life, and what I want to do with it.
Alice Walker
What the mind doesn't understand, it worships or fears.
Alice Walker
When life descends into the pit I must become my own candle Willingly burning my self To light up the darkness around me.
Alice Walker
Like I said...fine with me.
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
