The Color Purple

"The more I wonder, the more I love."

"Anything you done to us, already done to you."

"I'm pore, I'm Black, I may be ugly and I can't cook, a voice say to everything listening. But I'm here."

"Us sing and dance, make faces and give flower bouquets, trying to be loved."

"I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it."

"I don't come to you to make you happy."

"But I'll tell you something true. Even if I am not, I'm alive."

"Us each other's people now."

"I'm here. I'm here."

"The more I wonder, the more I love."

"Everything want to be loved."

"You've got to git man off your eyeball, before you can see anything a'tall."

"Any God I ever felt in church I brought in myself."

"Here in this place, we flesh; flesh that weeps, laughs; flesh that dances on bare feet in fields."

"I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it."

"I done found my voice at last."

"The road ahead going to be long."

"She bring light into my life."

"I forgive you for all the pain."

"Love is like a flower, need tending."

"I wanted to be anybody but who I was."

"She say God is inside you and inside everybody else."

"All these years I thought I wasn't good enough."

"I finally feel like somebody."

"We ought to do something for ourselves."

"I ain't no fool. I know what he want."

"Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy."

"That's how you know you in love."

"I spent near thirty years trying to dress like a man."

"The quilt tell our story."
