"Dia sering berbicara dengan biji-bijian yang jatuh dan berkata, "Ah, semoga kamu jatuh di tanah lunak," karena dia telah mendengar biji mengatakan itu satu sama lain ketika mereka lewat.

Mimpi pertama Janie sudah mati, jadi dia menjadi wanita."

--- Zora Neale Hurston

Janie's first dream was dead, so she became a woman.
