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
It was the meanest moment of eternity.
Zora Neale Hurston
Once you wake up thought in a man, you can never put it to sleep again.
Zora Neale Hurston
Magic is older than writing. So nobody knows how it started.
Zora Neale Hurston

Zora Neale Hurston
Don't you realize that the sea is the home of water? All water is off on a journey unless it's in the sea, and it's homesick, and bound to make its way home someday.
Zora Neale Hurston
