Alice Walker Quotes About Growth

Quotes about: Growth

• Some periods of our growth are so confusing that we don't even recognize that growth is happening...Those long periods when something inside ourselves seems to be waiting, holding its breath, unsure about what the next step should be, eventually become the periods we wait for, for it is in those periods that we realize that we are being prepared for the next phase of our life and that, in all probability, a new level of the personality is about to be revealed.

I find all of them constrictive. They're hard to wear. And they're hard to wear because we're always - hopefully - growing.
