one of my favorite quotes

April 14 2006

["I know all those sitters-and-talkers are going to worry their guts into fiddle strings until they find out what we've been talking about. That's all right, Phoeby, tell them . . . because my love doesn't work like their love, if they ever had any.


"Then you must tell them that love isn't something like a grindstone that's the same thing everywhere and does the same thing to everything it touches.


"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, Their Eyes Were Watching God


(It's in brackets because I translated it out of dialect.)

Argh! I remember having to read that book in high school and severely disliking it. We kept saying that she shouldn't let all those guys walk all over her....and I don't have a favorite quote, but one of my favorites is "Don't go to bed angry...stay up and fight!"
