Additional quotes by Zora Neale Hurston

So Janie waited a bloom time, and a green time and an orange time.

The morning air was like a new dress. That made her feel the apron tied around her waist. She untied it and flung it on a low bush beside the road and walked on, picking flowers and making a bouquet… From now on until death she was going to have flower dust and springtime sprinkled over everything.

She was saving up feelings for some man she had never seen.
