Like the dead-seeming, cold rocks, I have memories within that came out of the material that went to make me. Time and place have had their say.

More quotes by Zora Neale Hurston
It is one of the blessings of this world that few people see visions and dream dreams.
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
My sense of humor will always stand in the way of my seeing myself, my family, my race or my nation as the whole intent of the universe.
Zora Neale Hurston
Her old thoughts were going to come in handy now, but new words would have to be made and said to fit them.
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
Love, I find, is like singing.
Zora Neale Hurston
Sweat, sweat, sweat! Work and sweat, cry and sweat, pray and sweat!
Zora Neale Hurston
I feel most colored when I am thrown against a sharp white background.
Zora Neale Hurston
Don't you love nobody better'n you do yo'self. Do, you'll be dying befo' yo' time is out.
Zora Neale Hurston
Ethical and cultural desegregation. It is a contradiction in terms to scream race pride and equality while at the same time spurning Negro teachers and self-association.
Zora Neale Hurston
I am the kind of a woman that likes to move on mentally from point to point, and I like for my man to be there way ahead of me. Then if he is strong and honest, it goes on from there. Good looks are not essential, just extra added attraction.
Zora Neale Hurston
It was a weak spot in any nation to have a large body of disaffected people within its confusion.
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
There are years that ask questions and years that answer.
Zora Neale Hurston
She had waited all her life for something, and it had killed her when it found her.
Zora Neale Hurston
No man may make another free.
Zora Neale Hurston
Friendship is a mysterious and ocean-bottom thing. Who can know the outer ranges of it? Perhaps no human being has ever explored its limits.
Zora Neale Hurston
Gods always behave like the people who make them.
Zora Neale Hurston
If you are silent about your pain, they’ll kill you and say you enjoyed it.
Zora Neale Hurston
When we sing the blues, we're singin' out our hearts, we're singing out our feelings. Maybe we're hurt and just can't answer back, then we sing or maybe even hum the blues.
Zora Neale Hurston
