More quotes by Zora Neale Hurston
Africa has her mouth on Moses.
Zora Neale Hurston
So Janie waited a bloom time, and a green time and an orange time.
Zora Neale Hurston
Learning without wisdom is a load of books on a donkey's back.
Zora Neale Hurston
I note that the Africa loves to depict the grace of reptiles.
Zora Neale Hurston
I regret all of my books.
Zora Neale Hurston
I made up my mind to keep my feelings to myself since they did not seem to matter to anyone else but me.
Zora Neale Hurston
When Janie looked out of her door she saw the drifting mists gathered in the west -- that cloud field of the sky -- to arm themselves with thunders and march forth against the world. Louder and higher and lower and wider the sound and motion spread, mounting, sinking, darking.
Zora Neale Hurston
All gods who receive homage are cruel. All gods dispense suffering without reason. Otherwise they would not be worshipped. Through indiscriminate suffering men know fear and fear is the most divine emotion. It is the stones for altars and the beginning of wisdom. Half gods are worshipped in wine and flowers. Real gods require blood.
Zora Neale Hurston
Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose.
Zora Neale Hurston
She stood there until something fell off the shelf inside her. Then she went inside there to see what it was. It was her image of Jody tumbled down and shattered. But looking at it she saw that it never was the flesh and blood figure of her dreams. Just something she had grabbed up to drape her dreams over.
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
it seems that tears and laughter, love and hate, make up the sum of life!
Zora Neale Hurston
Such as I am, I am a precious gift.
Zora Neale Hurston
It was not death she feared. It was misunderstanding.
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
It costs you something to do good!
Zora Neale Hurston
If you are silent about your pain, they’ll kill you and say you enjoyed it.
Zora Neale Hurston
She didn't read books so she didn't know that she was the world and the heavens boiled down to a drop.
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
Don't you love nobody better'n you do yo'self. Do, you'll be dying befo' yo' time is out.
Zora Neale Hurston
