Zora Neale Hurston

Zora Neale Hurston
If you kin see de light at daybreak, you don't keer if you die at dusk. It's so many people never seen de light at all.
Zora Neale Hurston
Folklore is the boiled-down juice, or pot-likker, of human living.
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
No hour is ever eternity, but it has its right to weep.
Zora Neale Hurston
There is something about poverty that smells like death.

Bitterness is the coward's revenge on the world for having been hurt.
Zora Neale Hurston
