More quotes by Zora Neale Hurston
Some people could look at a mud puddle and see an ocean with ships.
Zora Neale Hurston
All gods who receive homage are cruel. All gods dispense suffering without reason. Otherwise they would not be worshipped. Through indiscriminate suffering men know fear and fear is the most divine emotion. It is the stones for altars and the beginning of wisdom. Half gods are worshipped in wine and flowers. Real gods require blood.
Zora Neale Hurston
No matter how far a person can go the horizon is still way beyond you.
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
Love, I find, is like singing.
Zora Neale Hurston
Distance is the only cure for certain diseases.
Zora Neale Hurston

Zora Neale Hurston

Zora Neale Hurston
[Proverbs] are short sayings made out of long experience.
Zora Neale Hurston
You heard me. You ain't blind.
Zora Neale Hurston
Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place.
Zora Neale Hurston
It seems to me that trying to live without friends is like milking a bear to get cream for your morning coffee. It is a whole lot of trouble, and then not worth much after you get it.
Zora Neale Hurston
Trees and plants always look like the people they live with, somehow.
Zora Neale Hurston
There is something about poverty that smells like death. Dead dreams dropping off the heart like leaves in a dry season and rotting around the feet impulses smothered too long in the fetid air of underground caves. The soul lives in sickly air. People can be slaveships in shoes.
Zora Neale Hurston
Mystery is the essence of divinity
Zora Neale Hurston
I regret all of my books.
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
