Zora Neale Hurston

"Grab the broom of anger and drive off the beast of fear."

"So the brother in black offers to these United States the source of courage that endures, and laughter."

"There is something about poverty that smells like death."

"It is one of the blessings of this world that few people see visions and dream dreams."

"Grab the broom of anger and drive off the beast of fear."

"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."
