More quotes by Zora Neale Hurston
Janie saw her life like a great tree in leaf with the things suffered, things enjoyed, things done and undone. Dawn and doom was in the branches
Zora Neale Hurston
I know that nothing is destructible things merely change forms.
Zora Neale Hurston
The whole matter revolves around the self-respect of my people. How much satisfaction can I get from a court order for somebody toassociate with me who does not wish me near them?
Zora Neale Hurston

Zora Neale Hurston

Zora Neale Hurston
want won't kill you half as quick as worry will.
Zora Neale Hurston
Sometimes, I feel discriminated against, but it does not make me angry. It merely astonishes me. How can any deny themselves the pleasure of my company? It's beyond me.
Zora Neale Hurston
Janie looked down on him and felt a self-crushing love. So her soul crawled out from its hiding place.
Zora Neale Hurston
There is nothing to make you like other human beings so much as doing things for them.
Zora Neale Hurston
Every morning the world flung itself over and exposed the town to the sun.
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
Distance is the only cure for certain diseases.
Zora Neale Hurston
There is something about poverty that smells like death.
Zora Neale Hurston
