Zora Neale Hurston
  • 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.

  • It's a funny thing, the less people have to live for, the less nerve they have to risk losing nothing.

  • The present was an egg laid by the past that had the future inside its shell.

  • Trees and plants always look like the people they live with, somehow.

  • 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.
