Beauty of nature1 quote
I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it… People think pleasing God is all God care about. But any fool living in the world can see it always trying to please us back. — Alice Walker · 1982Feeling loved1 quote
Everything want to be loved. Us sing and dance make faces and give flower bouquets, trying to be loved. — Alice Walker · 1982God and man1 quote
Have you ever found God in church? I never did. I just found a bunch of folks hoping for him to show. Any God I ever felt in church I brought in with me. And I think all the other folks did too. They come to church to share God, not find God. — Alice Walker · 1982Human needs1 quote

Through cracks in the conversation.
Through silences in the dark.
Through everything you thought was concrete. — Alice Walker · 1979Immaturity1 quote
