The Color Purple (The Color Purple Collection, #1)

by Alice Walker

I knew that if I cut a tree, my arm would bleed.

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

I’m busy making pants for Sofia now. One leg be purple, one leg be red. I dream Sofia wearing these pants, one day she was jumping over the moon.

DEAR GOD. DEAR STARS, DEAR TREES, DEAR SKY, DEAR PEOPLES. DEAR EVERYTHING. DEAR GOD.
