| We all use quotes in our lives whether we realize it or not. | |
| Perhaps we repeat a saying our grandmother used to teach us a | |
| lesson, or remember a passage from a book that spoke to our | |
| heart - a funny line from a film that never fails to cheer us | |
| when we are feeling down. We inscribe wedding rings with | |
| Shakespeare\'s words, or look for motivational words to keep us | |
| on the right track...Quotations also connect us with others. | |
| It\'s nice to know that someone, even a thousand years ago, felt | |
| the way we do today. | |
| lease share any quotes that mean something | |
| to you. You are welcome to share why or how the quote speaks to | |
| you, if you\'d like. :th_heartshape: Happy quoting!! | |
| t. | |
| Augustine\'s words have always spoken to me: | |
| here your pleasure | |
| is, | |
| here is your treasure. | |
| here your treasure is, | |
| here is | |
| your heart. | |
| here your heart is, | |
| here is your happiness. | |
| \"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only | |
| one page.\" | |
| "People travel to wonder at the height of the | |
| mountains, at the huge waves of the seas, at the long course of | |
| the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular | |
| motion of the stars, and yet they pass by themselves without | |
| wondering.\" | |

| 9 | |
| strong>Deciding Who To Marry:</strong> | |

| hese are many quotes from Zora Neale | |
| Hurston\'s novel <em>Their Eyes Were Watching God</em>...a book | |
| that never fails to make me love words all over again, as well | |
| as makes me cry. My students love me, despite my eccentric | |
| nature. Thank God. | |
| She stood there until something fell off | |
| the shelf inside her. Then she went inside there to see | |
| hat it | |
| was.\" (Oh, my...) | |
| "Ships at a distance have every man\'s wish | |
| on board. For some they come in with the tide. For others they | |
| sail forever on the horizon, never out of sight, never landing | |
| until the Watcher turns...\" | |
| "Janie saw her life like a great | |
| tree in leaf with the things suffered, things enjoyed, things | |
| done and undone. Dawn and doom was in the branches.\" | |
| "Put me | |
| down easy, I\'m a cracked plate.\" (incredible metaphor) | |
| "She | |
| had been getting ready for her great journey to the horizons in | |
| search of people; it was important to all the world that she | |
| should find them and they find her. But she had been whipped | |
| like a cur dog, and run off down a back road after | |
| <em>things</em>. It was all according to the way you see things. | |
| Some people could look at a mud-puddle and see an ocean with | |
| ships. But Nanny belonged to that other kind that loved to deal | |
| in scraps.\" | |
| "The years took all the fight out of Janie�s face. | |
| For a while she thought it was gone from her soul. No matter | |
| what Jody did, she said nothing. She had learned how to talk | |
| some and leave some. She was a rut in the road. Plenty of life | |
| beneath the surface but it was kept beaten down by the | |
| wheels.\" | |
| "All next day in the house and store she thought | |
| resisting thoughts about Tea Cake. She even ridiculed him in her | |
| mind and was a little ashamed of the association. But every hour | |
| or two the battle had to be fought all over again. She couldn�t | |
| make him look just like any other man to her. He looked like the | |
| love thoughts of women. He could be a bee to a blossom � a pear | |
| tree blossom in the spring. He seemed to be crushing scent out | |
| of the world with his footsteps. Crushing aromatic herbs with | |
| every step he took. Spices hung about him. He was a glance from | |
| God. (oh, my again...) | |
| "Ah couldn�t stand it if he [Tea Cake] | |
| wuz tuh quit me. Don�t know whut Ah�d do. He kin take most any | |
| lil thing and make summertime out of it when times is dull. Then | |
| we lives offa dat happiness he made till some mo� happiness come | |
| along.\" | |
| "The wind came back with triple fury and put out the | |
| light for the last time. They sat in company with the others in | |
| other shanties, their eyes straining against crude walls and | |
| their souls asking if He meant to measure their puny might | |
| against His. They seemed to be staring at the dark, but their | |
| eyes were watching God.\" | |
| "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.\" (bowing | |
| before the Hurston altar) | |
| "Oh to be a pear tree � any tree in | |
| bloom! With kissing bees singing of the beginning of the world! | |
| She was sixteen. She had glossy leaves and bursting buds and she | |
| wanted to struggle with life but it seemed to elude her. Where | |
| were the singing bees for her? Nothing on the place nor in her | |
| grandma�s house answered her. She searched as much of the world | |
| as she could from the top of the front steps and then went on | |
| down to the front gate and leaned over to gaze up and down the | |
| road. Looking, waiting, breathing short with impatience. Waiting | |
| for the world to be made.\" | |
| "She knew the world was a stallion | |
| rolling in the blue pasture of ether. She knew that God tore | |
| down the old world every evening and built a new one by sun-up. | |
| It was wonderful to see it take form with the sun and emerge | |
| from the gray dust of its making.\" | |
| "He [Tea Cake] drifted off | |
| into sleep and Janie looked down at him and felt a self-crushing | |
| love. So her soul crawled out from its hiding place.\" (oh, my | |
| again) | |
