“I'm a member and preacher to that church where the blind don't see and the lame don't walk and what's dead stays that way.”
“Sometimes the dead don't stay where you put them.”
“You got to fight them, Celie, she say. I can't do it for you.You got to fight them for yourself.I don't say nothing. I think bout Nettie, dead. She fight, she run away. What good it do? I don't fight, I stay where I'm told. But I'm alive.”
“I'm an idealist. I don't know where I'm going but I'm on the way.”
“I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way.”
“Of course I can see you. I'm not blind, you know.Oh, but you are. You just don't know it.”
