More quotes by Zora Neale Hurston
you can't beat me and my prayers!
Zora Neale Hurston
Through indiscriminate suffering men know fear, and fear is the most divine emotion. It is the stones for altars and the beginning of wisdom.
Zora Neale Hurston
God took pattern after a pine tree and built you noble.
Zora Neale Hurston
I wish I could buy you for what you are really worth and sell you for what you think you're worth. I sure would make money on the deal.
Zora Neale Hurston
There is a basin in the mind where words float around on thought and thought on sound and sight. Then there is a depth of thought untouched by words, and deeper still a gulf of formless feelings untouched by thought.
Zora Neale Hurston
I am the kind of a woman that likes to move on mentally from point to point, and I like for my man to be there way ahead of me. Then if he is strong and honest, it goes on from there. Good looks are not essential, just extra added attraction.
Zora Neale Hurston
Sometimes, I feel discriminated against, but it does not make me angry. It merely astonishes me. How can any deny themselves the pleasure of my company? It's beyond me.
Zora Neale Hurston
Everybody is two beings: one lives and flourishes in the daylight and stands guard. The other being walks and howls at night.
Zora Neale Hurston
Justice, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.
Zora Neale Hurston

Zora Neale Hurston
You have no idea, sir, how difficult it is to be the victim of benevolence.
Zora Neale Hurston

Zora Neale Hurston
People can be slave-ships in shoes.
Zora Neale Hurston
She had waited all her life for something, and it had killed her when it found her.
Zora Neale Hurston
To avoid the consequences of posterity the mulattos give the blacks a first class letting alone. There is a frantic stampede white-ward to escape from Jamaica's black mass.
Zora Neale Hurston
No hour is ever eternity, but it has its right to weep.
Zora Neale Hurston
She was saving up feelings for some man she had never seen.
Zora Neale Hurston
Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose.
Zora Neale Hurston
Like the dead-seeming, cold rocks, I have memories within that came out of the material that went to make me. Time and place have had their say.
Zora Neale Hurston
But as de old folk always say, Ah'm born but Ah ain't dead. No tellin' whut Ah'm liable tuh do yet.
Zora Neale Hurston
