Zora Neale Hurston
There is no single face in nature, because every eye that looks upon it, sees it from its own angle. So every man's spice-box seasons his own food.
Zora Neale Hurston
I am the kind of a woman that likes to move on mentally from point to point, and I like for my man to be there way ahead of me. Then if he is strong and honest, it goes on from there. Good looks are not essential, just extra added attraction.
Zora Neale Hurston
I love myself when I am laughing. . . and then again when I am looking mean and impressive.
Zora Neale Hurston
Gods always behave like the people who make them.
Zora Neale Hurston
Nothing that God ever made is the same thing to more than one person.
Zora Neale Hurston
