Here are some quotes from the book "Their Eyes Were Watching God" by Zora Neale Hurston:

- "There are years that ask questions and years that answer."
- "Love is lak de sea. It’s uh movin’ thing, but still and all, it takes its shape from de shore it meets, and it’s different with every shore."
- "If you kin see de light at daybreak, you don't keer if you die at dusk. It's so many people never seen de light at all."
- "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 his eyes away in resignation, his dreams mocked to death by Time. That is the life of men."

I hope this helps!
