More quotes by 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

Zora Neale Hurston
Justice, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

Zora Neale Hurston

Zora Neale Hurston
I have been in Sorrow's kitchen and licked out all the pots. Then I have stood on the peaky mountain wrapped in rainbows, with a harp and sword in my hands.
Zora Neale Hurston
My head was full of misty fumes of doubt.
Zora Neale Hurston
I thought that when they said Atlantic Charter, that meant me and everybody in Africa and Asia and everywhere. But it seems like the Atlantic is an ocean that does not touch anywhere but North America and Europe.
Zora Neale Hurston
An envious heart makes a treacherous ear.
Zora Neale Hurston
She knew now that marriage did not make love. Janie’s first dream was dead, so she became a woman.
Zora Neale Hurston
There's two things everybody got to find out for themselves: they got to find out about love, and they got to find out about living. Now, love is like the sea. It's a moving thing. And it's different on every shore. And living... well... There are years that ask questions and years that answer.
Zora Neale Hurston
I regret all of my books.
Zora Neale Hurston
The Haitian people are gentle and lovable except for their enormous and unconscious cruelty.
