Zora Neale Hurston
Anybody depending on somebody else's gods is depending on a fox not to eat chickens.
Zora Neale Hurston
The very best place to be in all the world is St. Mary's parish, Jamaica. And the best spot in St. Mary's is Port Maria, though all of St. Mary's is fine. Old Maker put himself to a lot of trouble to make that part of the island of Jamaica, for everything there is perfect.
Zora Neale Hurston

Zora Neale Hurston
