Zsa Zsa Gabor quotes
Any woman who diets all the time can't help but be grouchy. Nobody can be amusing or entertaining on a diet.
Zsa Zsa Gabor quotes
I tell you, in this world, being a little crazy helps to keep you sane.
Zsa Zsa Gabor quotes
When I'm alone, I can sleep crossways in bed without an argument.
Zsa Zsa Gabor quotes
If you like a man and he likes you, you should get married as fast as you can. Otherwise, you both are going to change your minds. There's plenty of time for that after marriage.
Zsa Zsa Gabor quotes
Diamonds are a girl's best friend, and dogs are a man's best friend. Now you know which sex has more sense.
Zora Neale Hurston quotes
I am her friend, and her tongue is in my mouth. I can speak her sentiments for her, though Ethel Waters can do very well indeed in speaking for herself.
Zora Neale Hurston quotes
I do not share the gloomy thought that Negroes in America are doomed to be stomped out bodaciously, nor even shackled to the bottom of things. Of course some of them will be tromped out, and some will always be at the bottom, keeping company with other bottom-folks.
Zora Neale Hurston quotes
The inference is, that God has restated the superiority of the West. God always does like that when a thousand white people surround one dark one. Dark people are always "bad" when they do not admit the Divine Plan like that. A certain Javanese man who sticks up for Indonesian Independence is very lowdown by the papers, and suspected of being a Japanese puppet.
Zora Neale Hurston quotes
She knew now that marriage did not make love. Janie’s first dream was dead, so she became a woman.
Zora Neale Hurston quotes
I am colored but I offer nothing in the way of extenuating circumstances except the fact that I am the only Negro in the United States whose grandfather on the mother's side was not an Indian chief.
Zora Neale Hurston quotes
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 quotes
Perhaps love is a compelling necessity imposed on man by God that has something to do with suffering
Zora Neale Hurston quotes
The very best place to be in all the world is St. Mary's parish, Jamaica. And the best spot in St. Mary's is Port Maria, though all of St. Mary's is fine. Old Maker put himself to a lot of trouble to make that part of the island of Jamaica, for everything there is perfect.
Zora Neale Hurston quotes
I had hundreds of books under my skin already. Not selected reading, all of it. Some of it could be called trashy. I had been through Nick Carter, Horatio Alger, Bertha M. Clay and the whole slew of dime novelists in addition to some really constructive reading. I do not regret the trash. It has harmed me in no way. It was a help, because acquiring the reading habit early is the important thing. Taste and natural development will take care of the rest later on.
Zora Neale Hurston quotes
To a haughty belly, kindness is hard to swallow and harder to digest.
Zora Neale Hurston quotes
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 quotes
It seemed to me that the human beings I met reacted pretty much the same to the same stimuli. Different idioms,yes. Circumstances and conditions having power to influence, yes. Inherent difference, no.
Zora Neale Hurston quotes
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?
