Alice Walker, US, novelist whose most famous book is The Color
Purple, was born on this date in 1944. Here are some words of wisdom from her:
- The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any.
- I think it pisses God off if you walk by the colour purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it.
- In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they're still beautiful.
- You know how big love is? Love is big. love can hold anger; love can even hold hatred.
- Life is better than death, I believe, if only because it is less boring, and because it has fresh peaches in it.
- I think the foundation of everything in my life is wonder.
- What the mind doesn't understand, it worships or fears.
- Expect nothing. Live frugally on surprise.
- The fact is that when you do something from your heart, you leave a heart print.
- We must, all of us, learn actually not to have enemies, but only confused adversaries who are ourselves in disguise.
