Jarrod’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for The Color Purple (The Color Purple Collection, #1)

The Color Purple (The Color Purple Collection, #1) by Alice Walker

1 note & 9 highlights

If it is true that it is what we run from that chases us, then The Color Purple (this color that is always a surprise but is everywhere in nature) is the book that ran me down while I sat with my back to it in a field.

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
― Frank Herbert, Dune
