Zora Neale Hurston
An envious heart makes a treacherous ear.
Zora Neale Hurston

Zora Neale Hurston

Zora Neale Hurston
All my skinfolk ain't kinfolk.
Zora Neale Hurston
The sun, the hero of every day, the impersonal old man that beams as brightly on death as on birth, came up every morning.
Zora Neale Hurston
I been through living for years. I just ain't dead yet.
Zora Neale Hurston
Anybody depending on somebody else's gods is depending on a fox not to eat chickens.
Zora Neale Hurston
There's two things everybody got to find out for themselves: they got to find out about love, and they got to find out about living. Now, love is like the sea. It's a moving thing. And it's different on every shore. And living... well... There are years that ask questions and years that answer.
Zora Neale Hurston
She stood there until something fell off the shelf inside her.
Zora Neale Hurston
It was a weak spot in any nation to have a large body of disaffected people within its confusion.
Zora Neale Hurston
My head was full of misty fumes of doubt.
Zora Neale Hurston
