More From Zora Neale Hurston

The truth is few people “think” big and even fewer “play” big. why? because “big” often means big responsibilitie s, big hassles and big problems. they look at that “bigness” and shrink. they’re smaller than their problems. they back away from challenges. ironically, they back themselves into the biggest problem of all ... being broke, or close to it.
Mean Thinking Play
Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well. there is nothing more potent than thought. deed follows word and word follows thought. the word is the result of a mighty thought, and where the thought is mighty and pure the result is always mighty and pure.
Strength Deeds Harmony
Pray to god for gladness. be glad as children, as the birds of heaven. and let not the sin of men confound you in your doings. fear not that it will wear away your work and hinder its being accomplished. do not say, 'sin is mighty, wickedness is mighty, evil environment is mighty, and we are lonely and helpless, and evil environment is wearing us away and hindering our good work from being done.' fly from that dejection, children!

The writer can grow as a person or he can shrink. ... his curiosity, his reaction to life must not diminish. the fatal thing is to shrink, to be interested in less, sympathetic to less, desiccating to the point where life itself loses its flavor, and one’s passion for human understanding changes to weariness and distaste.
Passion Understanding Curiosity
This fact was something i also learned from this first novel that i needed personal experience to invent, to fantasize, to create fiction, but at the same time i needed some distance, some perspective on this experience in order to feel free enough to manipulate it and to transform it into fiction. if the experience is very close, i feel inhibited. i have never been able to write fiction about something that has happened to me recently. if the closeness of the real reality, of living reality, is to have a persuasive effect on my imagination, i need a distance, a distance in time and in space.
Real Distance Writing
We should not shrink from opportunities where our faith may be tried. the more i am in a position to be tried in faith, the more i will have the opportunity of seeing god’s help and deliverance. every fresh instance in which he helps and delivers me will increase my faith. the believer should not shrink from situations, positions, or circumstances in which his faith may be tried, but he should cheerfully embrace them as opportunities to see the hand of god stretched out in help and deliverance. thus his faith will be strengthened.
