Whenever you are creating beauty around you, you are restoring your own soul. – Alice Walker
In my work and in myself I reflect black people, women and men, as I reflect others. One day even the most self-protective ones will look into the mirror I provide and not be afraid. – Alice Walker
Its so clear that you have to cherish everyone. I think thats what I get from these older black women, that every soul is to be cherished, that every flower Is to bloom. – Alice Walker
I think writing really helps you heal yourself. I think if you write long enough, you will be a healthy person. That is, if you write what you need to write, as opposed to what will make money, or what will make fame. – Alice Walker
I think Ive got my business notions and my sense for that sort of thing from my dad. My dad never had a chance to go to school. He couldnt read and write. But he was so smart. He was just one of those people that could just make the most of anything and everything that he had to work with. – Dolly Parton
