More quotes by Zora Neale Hurston

Zora Neale Hurston
Those that don't got it, can't show it. Those that got it, can't hide it.
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

Zora Neale Hurston

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
It is hard to apply oneself to study when there is no money to pay for food and lodging. I almost never explain these things when folks are asking me why I don't do this or that.
Zora Neale Hurston
There is something about poverty that smells like death.
Zora Neale Hurston
There is nothing to make you like other human beings so much as doing things for them.
Zora Neale Hurston
Night came walking through Egypt swishing her black dress.
Zora Neale Hurston
The sun had become a light yellow yolk and was walking with red legs across the sky.
Zora Neale Hurston
Tell me, and then again show me, so I can know.
Zora Neale Hurston
They bowed down to him rather, because he was all of these things, and then again he was all of these things because the town bowed down.
Zora Neale Hurston
But for the national welfare, it is urgent to realize that the minorities do think, and think about something other than the race problem.
