As an elder of the Americas and of the rest of the planet, it is my responsibility to care for and protect, to the best of my ability, the young.
Quote by -Alice Walker
Fiction is such a world of freedom, it's wonderful. If you want someone to fly, they can fly.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Alice Walker
The trouble with our people is as soon as they got out of slavery they didn't want to give the white man nothing else. But the fact is, you got to give em something. Either your money, your land, your woman or your ass.
Quote by -Alice Walker
There are those who believe Black people possess the secret of joy and that it is this that will sustain them through any spiritual or moral or physical devastation.
Quote by -Alice Walker
Helped are those who create anything at all, for they shall relive the thrill of their own conception and realize a partnership in the creation of the Universe that keeps them responsible and cheerful.
Quote by -Alice Walker
All partisan movements add to the fullness of our understanding of society as a whole. They never detract; or, in any case, one must not allow them to do so. Experience adds to experience.
Quote by -Alice Walker
The gift of loneliness is sometimes a radical vision of society or one's people that has not previously been taken into account.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Alice Walker
I think we have to own the fears that we have of each other, and then, in some practical way, some daily way, figure out how to see people differently than the way we were brought up to.
Quote by -Alice Walker
Us sing and dance, make faces and give flower bouquets, trying to be loved. You ever notice that trees do everything to git attention we do, except walk?
Quote by -Alice Walker
I can be almost terminally grief-stricken because things are so dire, but at the same time, there's a real lightheartedness about just the recoverability of life, of how things change, how they're not the same, ever again.
Quote by -Alice Walker
This is a wonderful planet, and it is being completely destroyed by people who have too much money and power and no empathy.
Quote by -Alice Walker
It's very hard for our parents who see us enter a world that they can't imagine.
Quote by -Alice Walker
I live a very secluded life, a very contemplative life and a very meditative one. That is my ideal life.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Alice Walker
Deliver me from writers who say the way they live doesn't matter. I'm not sure a bad person can write a good book, If art doesn't make us better, then what on earth is it for.
Quote by -Alice Walker
I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it.
Quote by -Alice Walker
Life is better than death, I believe, if only because it is less boring, and because it has fresh peaches in it.
Quote by -Alice Walker
It no longer bothers me that I may be constantly searching for father figures; by this time, I have found several and dearly enjoyed knowing them all.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Alice Walker
It's so clear that you have to cherish everyone. I think that's what I get from these older black women, that every soul is to be cherished, that every flower Is to bloom.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Alice Walker
People tend to think that life really does progress for everyone eventually, that people progress, but actually only some people progress. The rest of the people don't.
Quote by -Alice Walker
Well, I think indigenous peoples have ways of living on the Earth that they've had forever. And they've been overrun by organized religion, which has had a lot of money and power.
Quote by -Alice Walker
The fact is that when you do something from your heart, you leave a heart print.
Quote by -Alice Walker
What's really hard is that you could care a lot for someone and not want to live with him anymore.
