Zora Neale Hurston

Sometimes, I feel discriminated against, but it does not make me angry. It merely astonishes me.

Gods always behave like the people who make them.

Mama exhorted her children at every opportunity to "jump at de sun." We might not land on the sun, but at least we would get off the ground.

Love, I find is likesinging. Everybody can do enough to satisfy themselves, though it may not impress the neighbors as being very much.

Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose. It is a seeking that he who wishes may know the cosmic secrets of the world and they that dwell therein.

There are years that ask questions and years that answer.

Ships at a distance have every man's wish on board.

h done been in sorrow's kitchen and Ah done licked out all de pots. Ah done died in grief and been buried in de bitter waters, and Ah done rose agin from de dead lak Lazarus.
