More quotes by Alice Walker
What I've seen from keeping in touch as well as I can is that what I find so typical in Mexican culture is the helpfulness of the people to each other. I think, at this point, that is the highest good and the highest we can hope for - which is to be of help and use to each other wherever we are.
Alice Walker
To me, the black black woman is our essential mother, the blacker she is the more us she is and to see the hatred that is turned on her is enough to make me despair, almost entirely, of our future as a people.
Alice Walker
If a person is hit hard enough, even if she stands, she falls.
Alice Walker
It's so clear that you have to cherish everyone.
Alice Walker
I just like to have words that describe things correctly. Now to me, 'black feminist' does not do that. I need a word that is organic, that really comes out of the culture, that really expresses the spirit that we see in black women. And it's just... womanish.
Alice Walker
War contributes greatly to global warming, which shouldn't surprise us. All those bombs going off, all those rockets, all those planes and helicopters. All that fuel of various kinds being used. It pollutes the air and water of this very fragile and interconnected planet.
Alice Walker
Those in power must spend a lot of their time laughing at us.
Alice Walker
I am not lesbian, I am not bisexual, I am not straight. I am just curious
Alice Walker
Time moves slowly, but passes quickly.
Alice Walker
Honestly, that is the most important thing to me: Can I continue to live up to my own expectations of myself - and not fall back into slacking?
Alice Walker
Poetry is the lifeblood of rebellion, revolution, and the raising of consciousness.
Alice Walker
Womanist is to feminist as purple is to lavender.
Alice Walker
I'm not being disrespectful of the medium it's just not as important as the work that I actually do [books].
Alice Walker
Helped are those too busy living to respond when they are wrongfully attacked: on their walks they shall find mysteries so intriguing as to distract them from every blow.
Alice Walker
My life is not to be somebody else's impact - you know what I mean?
Alice Walker
Resist the temptation to think what afflicts you is peculiar to you. Have faith that what is in your consciousness can be communicated to the consciousness of all. And is, in many cases, already there.
Alice Walker
...have you ever found God in church? I never did. I just found a bunch of folks hoping for him to show. Any God I ever felt in church I brought in with me. And I think all the other folks did too. They come to church to share God, not find God.
Alice Walker
A grown child is a dangerous thing.
Alice Walker
The forest is the first cathedral. I felt that from the time I was a child. I credit my mother with that. I used to think it came from her Native-American side. Whichever it was, she instinctively connected with nature, and taught me that.
Alice Walker
God is different to us now, after all these years in Africa. More spirit than ever before, and more internal. Most people think he has to look like something or someone- a roofleaf or Christ- but we don't. And not being tied to what God looks like, frees us.
