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
Through indiscriminate suffering men know fear, and fear is the most divine emotion. It is the stones for altars and the beginning of wisdom.
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
Slogans can be worse than swords if they are only put in the right mouths.
