Alice Walker
“However, loving is nothing if it is not an education...”
Alice Walker, We Are the Ones We Have Been Waiting For: Light in a Time of Darkness

Alice Walker
“Heaven. Now there’s a thought. Nothing has ever been able, ultimately, to convince me we live anywhere else. And that heaven, more a verb than a noun, more a condition than a place, is about leading with the heart in whatever broken or ragged state it’s in, stumbling forward in faith until, from time to time, we miraculously find our way.”
Alice Walker, We Are the Ones We Have Been Waiting For: Light in a Time of Darkness

Simone Weil
“Every act should be considered from the point of view not of its object but of its impulsion. The question is not ‘What is the aim?’ It is ‘What is the origin?”
Simone Weil, Gravity and Grace

Alice Walker
“...continuing to love with depth and tenderness honors revolution at its highest success.”
Alice Walker, We Are the Ones We Have Been Waiting For: Light in a Time of Darkness

Alice Walker
“When humankind writes new laws of behavior for the world, in some Time quite different from now, one of the first must be that no one will harm anyone less powerful without first visiting her or him; eating and drinking with her or him, and meeting his or her family. I am deeply disturbed by the long-distance murder of poor and defenseless people that passes for legitimate “war” in our time. It is incredibly cowardly, and I marvel that more people don’t jump up and down in the streets, pointing this out. How much courage does it take to point and shoot a missile at a town you’ve never seen, filled with children whose voices you’ve never heard?”
Alice Walker, We Are the Ones We Have Been Waiting For: Light in a Time of Darkness
