The Color Purple

"I done learned to love myself."

"We come together to lift each other up."

"I never knew what it meant to be happy."

"Celie, you got to leave him."

"You got a lot to learn about love."

"I love you more than I love life itself."

"She prettier than God now."

"I'm glad I ask you the question, cause I been wondering."

"The world didn't give me nothing."

"Tell the truth, I said. Naw, she said."

"I was so happy to see you I could cry, and I will, I'll just take a while."

"The God I believe in don't play games with people."

"How I missed you, Celie!"

"Do you feel it too? I do. Everything we been through."

"She say, Celie, tell the truth, have you ever found God in church? I never said amen in my life."

"I have already given him everything I can stand to give."

"Dear God, I am sick."

"I don't know how to fight. All I know how to do is stay alive."

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

"I'm pore, I'm black, I may be ugly and I can't cook, like she say, but I'm here."

"Everything want 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."

"Us sit on the porch, waiting."

"I feel like a snake that done shed its skin."

"I'm brave again."

"But I finally know it all."

"Nothing happen without God's knowledge."

"I love you, God. I love you."

"The spirit of my parents be protecting me."

"Just don't let nothing hurt your spirit."
