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 248 quotes

Her old thoughts were going to come in handy now, but new words would have to be made and said to fit them.

I will fight for my country, but I will not lie for her.

Oh to be a pear tree Ђ' any tree in bloom! With kissing bees singing of the beginning of the world!

Zora Neale Hurston 248 quotes

Here was peace. She pulled in her horizon like a great fish-net. Pulled it from around the waist of the world and draped it over her shoulder. So much of life in its meshes! She called in her soul to come and see.

Zora Neale Hurston 248 quotes

There is something about pover...

There is something about poverty that smells like death. Dead dreams dropping off the heart like leaves in a dry season and rotting around the feet; impulses smothered too long in the fetid air of underground caves. The soul lives in sickly air. People can be slaveships in shoes.

But any man who walks in the way of power and property is bound to meet hate.

Zora Neale Hurston 248 quotes

Light came to me when I realized that I did not have to consider any racial group as a whole. God made them duck by duck and that was the only way I could see them.

Zora Neale Hurston 248 quotes

I am not tragically colored. T...

I am not tragically colored. There is no great sorrow dammed up in my soul, nor lurking behind my eyes. I do not mind at all. I do not belong to the sobbing school of Negrohood who hold that nature somehow has given them a lowdown dirty deal and whose feelings are all hurt about it. Even in the helter-skelter skirmish that is my life, I have seen that the world is to the strong regardless of a little pigmentation more or less. No, I do not weep at the worldЂ'I am too busy sharpening my oyster knife.

My head was full of misty fumes of doubt.

Zora Neale Hurston 248 quotes

All gods who receive homage are cruel. All gods dispense suffering without reason. Otherwise they would not be worshipped. Through indiscriminate suffering men know fear and fear is the most divine emotion. It is the stones for altars and the beginning of wisdom. Half gods are worshipped in wine and flowers. Real gods require blood.

Zora Neale Hurston 248 quotes

There is a basin in the mind w...

There is a basin in the mind where words float around on thought and thought on sound and sight. Then there is a depth of thought untouched by words, and deeper still a gulf of formless feelings untouched by thought.

Zora Neale Hurston 248 quotes

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

Zora Neale Hurston 248 quotes

He looked like the love thoughts of women.

Janie looked down on him and felt a self-crushing love. So her soul crawled out from its hiding place.

Mystery is the essence of divinity

The game of keeping what one has is never so exciting as the game of getting.

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.

I know that nothing is destructible; things merely change forms.

I been through living for years. I just ain't dead yet.
