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) Ethical and cultural desegregation.

It’s beyond me.  (Zora Neale Hurston Quotes) When Janie looked out of her door she saw the drifting mists gathered in the west -- that cloud field of the sky -- to arm themselves with thunders and march forth against the world. Louder and higher and lower and wider the sound and motion spread, mounting, sinking, darking.  (Zora Neale Hurston Quotes) Love is like the sea. It’s a moving thing, but still and all, it takes its shape from the shore it meets, and it’s different with every shore.  (Zora Neale Hurston Quotes) Women forget all the things they don’t want to remember, and remember everything they don’t want to forget.  (Zora Neale Hurston Quotes) There are years that ask questions and years that answer  (Zora Neale Hurston Quotes) There is something about poverty that smells like death  (Zora Neale Hurston Quotes) Grab the broom of anger and drive off the beast of fear  (Zora Neale Hurston Quotes) Gods always love the people who make em  (Zora Neale Hurston Quotes) I want a busy life, a just mind and a timely death  (Zora Neale Hurston Quotes) There is no agony like bearing an untold story inside you  (Zora Neale Hurston Quotes) Slogans can be worse than swords if they are only put in the right mouths  (Zora Neale Hurston Quotes) When a man keeps beating me to the draw mentally, he begins to get glamorous  (Zora Neale Hurston Quotes) Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose  (Zora Neale Hurston Quotes) Every morning the world flung itself over and exposed the town to the sun  (Zora Neale Hurston Quotes) The spirit of the marriage left the bedroom and took to living in the parlor  (Zora Neale Hurston Quotes) ... she starched and ironed her face, forming it into just what people wanted to see  (Zora Neale Hurston Quotes) It seems that tears and laughter, love and hate, make up the sum of life!  (Zora Neale Hurston Quotes) Once you wake up thought in a man, you can never put it to sleep again  (Zora Neale Hurston Quotes) How can any deny themselves the pleasure of my company? It’s beyond me  (Zora Neale Hurston Quotes) You have no idea, sir, how difficult it is to be the victim of benevolence  (Zora Neale Hurston Quotes) If you want that good feeling that comes from doing things for other folks then you have to pay for it in abuse and misunderstanding  (Zora Neale Hurston Quotes) It seems to me that trying to live without friends is like milking a bear to get cream for your morning coffee. It is a whole lot of trouble, and then not worth much after you get it  (Zora Neale Hurston Quotes) It would be against all nature for all the Negroes to be either at the bottom, top, or in between. We will go where the internal drive carries us like everybody else. It is up to the individual  (Zora Neale Hurston Quotes) It's a funny thing, the less people have to live for, the less nerve they have to risk losing nothing  (Zora Neale Hurston Quotes)
