More quotes by Zora Neale Hurston
I note that the Africa loves to depict the grace of reptiles.
Zora Neale Hurston
I have known the joy and pain of friendship. I have served and been served. I have made some good enemies for which I am not a bit sorry. I have loved unselfishly, and I have fondled hatred with the red-hot tongs of Hell. That's living.
Zora Neale Hurston
I thought that when they said Atlantic Charter, that meant me and everybody in Africa and Asia and everywhere. But it seems like the Atlantic is an ocean that does not touch anywhere but North America and Europe.
Zora Neale Hurston

Zora Neale Hurston
I hold that any religion that satisfies the individual urge is valid for that person.
Zora Neale Hurston
Lack of power and opportunity passes off too often for virtue.
Zora Neale Hurston

Zora Neale Hurston

Zora Neale Hurston
It's a funny thing, the less people have to live for, the less nerve they have to risk losing nothing.
Zora Neale Hurston
It seems to me that trying to live without friends is like milking a bear to get cream for your morning coffee. It is a whole lot of trouble, and then not worth much after you get it.
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
My sense of humor will always stand in the way of my seeing myself, my family, my race or my nation as the whole intent of the universe.
Zora Neale Hurston
When a man keeps beating me to the draw mentally, he begins to get glamorous.
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
truth is a letter from courage!
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
She had an inside and an outside now and suddenly she knew how not to mix them.
Zora Neale Hurston
People can be slave-ships in shoes.
Zora Neale Hurston
Night came walking through Egypt swishing her black dress.
