More quotes by 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

Zora Neale Hurston
Two things everybody's got tuh do fuh theyselves. They got tuh go tuh God, and they got tuh find out about livin' fuh theyselves.

Zora Neale Hurston
Faith hasn't got no eyes, but she's long-legged.
Zora Neale Hurston
I love myself when I am laughing. . . and then again when I am looking mean and impressive.
Zora Neale Hurston
You have no idea, sir, how difficult it is to be the victim of benevolence.
Zora Neale Hurston
Perhaps I am just a coward who loves to laugh at life better than I do cry with it. But when I do get to crying, boy, I can roll a mean tear.
Zora Neale Hurston
Why fear? The stuff of my being is matter, ever changing, ever moving, but never lost so what need of denominations and creeds to deny myself the comfort of all my fellow men? The wide belt of the universe has no need for finger-rings. I am one with the infinite and need no other assurance.
Zora Neale Hurston
The liquor of statecraft is distilled from the mash you got.
Zora Neale Hurston
No hour is ever eternity, but it has its right to weep.
Zora Neale Hurston
I know that nothing is destructible things merely change forms.
Zora Neale Hurston
If you kin see de light at daybreak, you don't keer if you die at dusk. It's so many people never seen de light at all.
Zora Neale Hurston
