theHotness

I have known the joy and pain of friendship. I have served and been served. I have made some good enemies for which I am not a bit sorry. I have loved unselfishly, and I have fondled hatred with the red-hot tongs of Hell. That’s living.

—Zora Neale Hurston (via dreamhampton1)

Woman and magic. Her power resides in her belly— for her cure is not an isolated act but a total social phenomenon. He who understands the full power of women and/ in storytelling also understands that life is not to be found in the mind nor in the heart, but there where she carries it.” - Trinh T. Minh-ha
