More quotes by Zora Neale Hurston
I want a busy life, a just mind, and a timely death.
Zora Neale Hurston
Grab the broom of anger and drive off the beast of fear.
Zora Neale Hurston
All gods who receive homage are cruel. All gods dispense suffering without reason. Otherwise they would not be worshipped. Through indiscriminate suffering men know fear and fear is the most divine emotion. It is the stones for altars and the beginning of wisdom. Half gods are worshipped in wine and flowers. Real gods require blood.
Zora Neale Hurston
Grown people know that they do not always know the way of things, and even if they think they know, they do not know where and how they got the proof.
Zora Neale Hurston
The morning air was like a new dress. That made her feel the apron tied around her waist. She untied it and flung it on a low bush beside the road and walked on, picking flowers and making a bouquet… From now on until death she was going to have flower dust and springtime sprinkled over everything.
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

Zora Neale Hurston
Affection makes your spirit slither out from its concealing spot.
Zora Neale Hurston

Zora Neale Hurston
Gods always love the people who make 'em.
Zora Neale Hurston
It seemed to me that the human beings I met reacted pretty much the same to the same stimuli. Different idioms,yes. Circumstances and conditions having power to influence, yes. Inherent difference, no.
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
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
The man who interprets Nature is always held in great honor.
Zora Neale Hurston
He looked like the love thoughts of women.
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
She was saving up feelings for some man she had never seen.
Zora Neale Hurston
When a man keeps beating me to the draw mentally, he begins to get glamorous.
Zora Neale Hurston
The sun had become a light yellow yolk and was walking with red legs across the sky.
Zora Neale Hurston
You have no idea, sir, how difficult it is to be the victim of benevolence.
