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

“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 the meanest moment of eternity.”

“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.”

“Now every mortal has pain”

“Unless their use by readers bring them to life, books are indeed dead things.”

“I love the name of honor more than I fear death.”

“It is when we are faced with death that we turn most bookish.”

“There are five things we need to say to people we love before they die…: I forgive you. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you. Goodbye.”

“Listen! What is life? It is a feather, it is the seed of the grass, blown hither and thither, sometimes multiplying itself and dying in the act, sometimes carried away into the heavens. But if that seed be good and heavy it may perchance travel a little way on the road it wills. It is well to try and journey one's road and to fight with the air. Man must die. At the worst he can but die a little sooner.”
