More quotes by Alice Walker

Alice Walker
Writing about people helps us to understand them, and understanding them helps us to accept them as part of ourselves.
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

Alice Walker
I can spend two hours grubbing about in my garden, dazed with pleasure and intent, and it feels like five minutes.
Alice Walker
Sexuality is one of the ways that we become enlightened, actually, because it leads us to self-knowledge.
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
You can't send me anywhere that I wouldn't be happy to go. You'd be surprised as to how that lightens the heart.
Alice Walker
Anything we love can be saved.
Alice Walker
This could be our revolution: to love what is plentiful as much as what's scarce.
Alice Walker
