More quotes by Zora Neale Hurston

Two things everybody's got tuh do fuh theyselves. They got tuh go tuh God, and they got tuh find out about livin' fuh theyselves.
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 have a strong suspicion . that much that passes for constant love is a golded- up moment walking in its sleep.
Zora Neale Hurston
It was not death she feared. It was misunderstanding.
