More quotes by Zora Neale Hurston
Janie looked down on him and felt a self-crushing love. So her soul crawled out from its hiding place.
Zora Neale Hurston
Sweat, sweat, sweat! Work and sweat, cry and sweat, pray and sweat!
Zora Neale Hurston
If you haven't got it, you can't show it. If you have got it, you can't hide it.
Zora Neale Hurston
A thing is mighty big when time and distance cannot shrink it.
Zora Neale Hurston
Ships at a distance have every man's wish on board.
Zora Neale Hurston
But for the national welfare, it is urgent to realize that the minorities do think, and think about something other than the race problem.
Zora Neale Hurston
I do not share the gloomy thought that Negroes in America are doomed to be stomped out bodaciously, nor even shackled to the bottom of things. Of course some of them will be tromped out, and some will always be at the bottom, keeping company with other bottom-folks.
Zora Neale Hurston
want won't kill you half as quick as worry will.
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
The man who interprets Nature is always held in great honor.
Zora Neale Hurston
Don't you love nobody better'n you do yo'self. Do, you'll be dying befo' yo' time is out.
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
Her old thoughts were going to come in handy now, but new words would have to be made and said to fit them.
Zora Neale Hurston
They seemed to be staring at the dark, but their eyes were watching God.
Zora Neale Hurston
It seems that fighting is a game where everybody is the loser.
Zora Neale Hurston
There is something about poverty that smells like death. Dead dreams dropping off the heart like leaves in a dry season and rotting around the feet impulses smothered too long in the fetid air of underground caves. The soul lives in sickly air. People can be slaveships in shoes.
Zora Neale Hurston
If you are silent about your pain, they’ll kill you and say you enjoyed it.
Zora Neale Hurston
Janie saw her life like a great tree in leaf with the things suffered, things enjoyed, things done and undone. Dawn and doom was in the branches
Zora Neale Hurston
Through indiscriminate suffering men know fear, and fear is the most divine emotion. It is the stones for altars and the beginning of wisdom.
Zora Neale Hurston
When the people sat around on the porch and passed around the pictures of their thoughts for the others to look at and see, it was nice. The fact that the thought pictures were always crayon enlargements of life made it even nicer to listen to.
Zora Neale Hurston
