More quotes by Zora Neale Hurston
Affection makes your spirit slither out from its concealing spot.
Zora Neale Hurston
truth is a letter from courage!
Zora Neale Hurston
That is the way with people ... If they do you wrong, they invent a bad name for you, a good name for their acts and then destroy you in the name of virtue.
Zora Neale Hurston
Women forget all the things they don't want to remember, and remember everything they don't want to forget.
Zora Neale Hurston
There is a basin in the mind where words float around on thought and thought on sound and sight. Then there is a depth of thought untouched by words, and deeper still a gulf of formless feelings untouched by thought.
Zora Neale Hurston
It's a funny thing, the less people have to live for, the less nerve they have to risk losing nothing.
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
The sun had become a light yellow yolk and was walking with red legs across the sky.
Zora Neale Hurston
The whole matter revolves around the self-respect of my people. How much satisfaction can I get from a court order for somebody toassociate with me who does not wish me near them?
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
Justice, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.
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
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
Those that don't got it, can't show it. Those that got it, can't hide it.
Zora Neale Hurston
A great state is a well-blended mash of something of all the people and all of none of the people. The liquor of statecraft is distilled from the mash you got.
Zora Neale Hurston
I do not weep at the world I am too busy sharpening my oyster knife.
Zora Neale Hurston
The present was an egg laid by the past that had the future inside its shell.
Zora Neale Hurston
Gods always love the people who make 'em.
Zora Neale Hurston
The liquor of statecraft is distilled from the mash you got.
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
