More quotes by Zora Neale Hurston
Happiness is nothing but everyday living seen through a veil.
Zora Neale Hurston
Friendship is a mysterious and ocean-bottom thing. Who can know the outer ranges of it? Perhaps no human being has ever explored its limits.
Zora Neale Hurston
It's no use of talking unless people understand what you say.
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
Work is the nearest thing to happiness that I can find.
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
it seems that tears and laughter, love and hate, make up the sum of life!
Zora Neale Hurston
I am her friend, and her tongue is in my mouth. I can speak her sentiments for her, though Ethel Waters can do very well indeed in speaking for herself.
Zora Neale Hurston
Once you wake up thought in a man, you can never put it to sleep again.
Zora Neale Hurston
The man who interprets Nature is always held in great honor.
Zora Neale Hurston
I hold that any religion that satisfies the individual urge is valid for that person.
Zora Neale Hurston
The game of keeping what one has is never so exciting as the game of getting.
Zora Neale Hurston
I wish I could buy you for what you are really worth and sell you for what you think you're worth. I sure would make money on the deal.
Zora Neale Hurston
A thing is mighty big when time and distance cannot shrink it.
Zora Neale Hurston
The present was an egg laid by the past that had the future inside its shell.
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
The morning air was like a new dress. That made her feel the apron tied around her waist. She untied it and flung it on a low bush beside the road and walked on, picking flowers and making a bouquet… From now on until death she was going to have flower dust and springtime sprinkled over everything.
Zora Neale Hurston
If it was so honorable and glorious to be black, why was it the yellow-skinned people among us had so much prestige?
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
Grown people know that they do not always know the way of things, and even if they think they know, they do not know where and how they got the proof.
Zora Neale Hurston
