More quotes by Zora Neale Hurston
I love myself when I am laughing. . . and then again when I am looking mean and impressive.
Zora Neale Hurston

Zora Neale Hurston
I have known the joy and pain of friendship. I have served and been served. I have made some good enemies for which I am not a bit sorry. I have loved unselfishly, and I have fondled hatred with the red-hot tongs of Hell. That's living.
Zora Neale Hurston
The North has no interest in the particular Negro, but talks of justice for the whole. The South has not interest, and pretends none, in the mass of Negroes but is very much concerned about the individual.
Zora Neale Hurston
Folklore is the boiled-down juice, or pot-likker, of human living.
Zora Neale Hurston
The sun had become a light yellow yolk and was walking with red legs across the sky.
Zora Neale Hurston
truth is a letter from courage!
Zora Neale Hurston
Magic is older than writing. So nobody knows how it started.
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
Ships at a distance have every man's wish on board.
