shug: more than anything, god love admiration.
celie: you saying god is vain?
shug: no, not vain, just wanting to share a good thing. i think it pisses god off when you walk by the color purple in a field and don’t notice it.
celie: you saying it just wanna be loved like it say in the bible?
shug: yeah, celie. everything wanna be loved. us sing and dance, and holler just wanting to be loved. look at them trees. notice how the trees do everything people do to get attention… except walk?
