Writing saved me from the sin and inconvenience of violence.
Today is the birthday of Alice Walker, Pulitzer winning author of The Color Purple
Some quotes to inspire you:
- I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don’t notice it.
- Anybody can observe the Sabbath, but making it holy surely takes the rest of the week.
- Deliver me from writers who say the way they live doesn’t matter. I’m not sure a bad person can write a good book, If art doesn’t make us better, then what on earth is it for.
- Horses make a landscape look beautiful.
- No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.
- Tea to the English is really a picnic indoors.
- What the mind doesn’t understand, it worships or fears.
and my favorite : Expect nothing. Live frugally on surprise.
Happy Birthday, Alice Walker.
