' Their Eyes Were Watching God is a book about a woman who is not afraid to be herself.'
' I love myself when I am laughing.' ' I am not tragically colored. There is no great sorrow dammed up in my soul, nor lurking behind my eyes.' ' I want to be a writer, and I want to be a good one.' ' There are years that ask questions and years that answer.' " Their Eyes Were Watching God is a book about a woman who is looking for her own identity." " I do not weep at the world. I am too busy sharpening my oyster knife." " There are years that ask questions and years that answer." " I am not tragically colored. There is no great sorrow dammed up in my soul, nor lurking behind my eyes." " I love myself when I am laughing... and then again when I am looking mean and impressive." ' I am not tragically colored.' ' Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place.' ' Their Eyes Were Watching God is a book about a woman who is searching for her own identity.' ' I do not weep at the world— I am too busy sharpening my oyster knife.' |
