Alice Walker
  • Don't wait around for other people to be happy for you. Any happiness you get you've got to make yourself.

  • All History is current all injustice continues on some level, somewhere in the world.

  • I'm not convinced that women have the education or the sense of their own history enough or that they understand the cruelty of which men are capable and the delight that many men will take in seeing you choose to chain yourself - then they get to say 'See, you did it yourself.'

  • Never be the only one, except, possibly, in your own home.

  • 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.
