“War contributes greatly to global warming, which shouldn't surprise us. All thos…” — Alice Walker

I think America has always been polarized.

I think the foundation of everything in my life is wonder.

I just feel that 'The Color Purple,' which was my 10th book, was a true gift from my ancestors.

I used to meditate all the time in bed. That was when I was raising my daughter, and I'd get her up and off to school, and then I would go back to bed and meditate. And then I would do the same in the evening, and that was very good for that period because I had so many things to juggle as a single mother.
