More quotes by Alice Walker
Be compassionate to everyone. Don't just search for whatever it is that annoys and frightens you-see beyond those things to the basic human being. Especially see the child in the man or woman. Even if they are destroying you, allow a moment to see how lost in their own delusion and suffering they are.
Alice Walker
It matters to me that I feel loved by the universe - and I do.

Alice Walker
When you are active, and you must know this so well, that the more you are active, the more you see, the more you go to see. You know, you are curious. One thing leads to another thing, and it gets deeper and deeper, too. And there's no end to it.
Alice Walker
no person is your friend (or kin) who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow and be perceived as fully blossomed as you were intended. Or who belittles in any fashion the gifts you labor so to bring into the world.
Alice Walker
The original crime of niggers and lesbians is that they prefer themselves.
Alice Walker
Be nobody's darling Be an outcast. Take the contradictions Of your life And wrap around You like a shawl, To parry stones To keep you warm.
Alice Walker
As you know from school, it's when you have not prepared for the test that you have the fear of failing. And if you have prepared, even if you fail, you've done your best.
Alice Walker
What gardening teaches us is that if you plant things, they'll come up. But you have to be willing to wait for them to bear fruit because things are seasonal.
Alice Walker
Expecting anything, living frugally in surprise.
Alice Walker
This life soon be over, I say. Heaven last all ways.
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.
