More quotes by Alice Walker
Writing saved me from the sin and inconvenience of violence.
Alice Walker
In the far upper corner of my altar is a photo of Joan Crawford in her most fierce Mommy Dearest mode, just to remind me of some of the cost of everyone's hard-earned sweetness and light.
Alice Walker
HELPED are those who lose their fear of death theirs is the power to envision the future in a blade of grass.
Alice Walker
My big complaint with myself is that I get tired. But, I forgive myself because it's human to get tired. But, I didn't always feel like I could forgive myself. There's a certain [drive], I think. But, now I feel like, OK, you can be tired. People should let you be tired. Then you should go and take a nap, and you should sleep. That's about it.
Alice Walker
I realized I was a country person - I'm just not used to small spaces.
Alice Walker
War is a dead end, literally. And, what is more, we simply can't afford it. Not morally, and not financially. How long will it take the citizens of the United States, one wonders, to recognize that the house their country bombed in Iraq is the same one they were living in until it was foreclosed?
Alice Walker
HELPED are those whose every act is a prayer for peace on them depends the future of the world.
Alice Walker
Listen, God loves everything you love, and a mess of stuff you don't.
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
This life soon be over, I say. Heaven last all ways.
Alice Walker
For in the end, freedom is a personal and lonely battle and one faces down fears of today so that those of tomorrow might be engaged.
Alice Walker
Expect nothing. Live frugally on surprise.
Alice Walker
This could be our revolution: to love what is plentiful as much as what's scarce.
Alice Walker
No song or poem will bear my mother's name. Yet so many of the stories that I write, that we all write, are my mother's stories.
Alice Walker
You're not here just to be a clone. You're not here to be a copy. We have enough of those. You don't have to apply. You don't even have to go there to be absolutely yourself - real, here, now, on this planet.
Alice Walker
The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men.
Alice Walker
So the best thing is to really work on yourself and opening your own heart and just letting all that stuff [worrying] go. And it is possible. It's sometimes takes a lot of time it's not easy. And a lot of sitting with yourself and trying to work with your own heart.
Alice Walker
I'm for women choosing whatever they want to do but they have to really know what they are doing.
Alice Walker
We must, I believe, start teaching our children the sanity of nonviolence much earlier.
Alice Walker
The long-term accommodation that protects marriage and other such relationships is ... forgetfulness.
Alice Walker
