Death Quote by Zora Neale Hurston — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“I have known the joy and pain of friendship. I have served and been served. I have made some good enemies for which I am not a bit sorry. I have loved unselfishly, and I have fondled hatred with the red-hot tongs of Hell. That's living.”

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

“Grown people know that they do not always know the way of things, and even if they think they know, they do not know where and how they got the proof.”

“Of course he wasn't dead. He could never be dead until she herself had finished feeling and thinking. The kiss of his memory made pictures of love and light against the wall. 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.”

“It was not death she feared. It was misunderstanding.”

“Everyone was eating, talking softly, glancing at me, hugging me, eating. It was as if someone had turned the volume down. Everything looked normal, but the sound was muted.

“The wind made me shiver as i pulled my arms into my T-shirt. There I was, cold, isolated and desperate for something I knew I couldn't have.”

“Never underestimate the will of a creature who begins to die at birth.”

“Here at last”

“Being unable to cure death, wretchedness and ignorance, men have decided, in order to be happy, not to think about such things.”

“You smile upon your friend to-day,”
