Love, I find, is like singing. Everybody can do enough to satisfy themselves, though it may not impress the neighbors as being very much.
Zora Neale Hurston
Affection makes your spirit slither out from its concealing spot.
Zora Neale Hurston
People can be slave-ships in shoes.
Zora Neale Hurston
Sometimes, I feel discriminated against, but it does not make me angry. It merely astonishes me. How can any deny themselves the pleasure of my company? It's beyond me.
Zora Neale Hurston
Love, I find, is like singing.
Zora Neale Hurston
