  • Fernandohas quoted3 years ago
    She knew now that marriage did not make love. Janie’s first dream was dead, so she became a woman.
  • Fernandohas quoted3 years ago
    The house was absent of flavor, too. But anyhow Janie went on inside to wait for love to begin.
  • Fernandohas quoted3 years ago
    us colored folks is branches without roots and that makes things come round in queer ways.
  • Fernandohas quoted3 years ago
    You ain’t got no papa, you might jus’ as well say no mama, for de good she do yuh. You ain’t got nobody but me. And mah head is ole and tilted towards de grave. Neither can you stand alone by yo’self.

    Comparar con la canción de Eric Clapton:
    "Drifting Blues"

    I'm drifting and drifting
    Just like a ship out on the sea
    I'm drifting and drifting
    Just like a ship out on the sea
    Well I ain't got nobody
    In this world to care for me

  • Fernandohas quoted3 years ago
    De nigger woman is de mule uh de world so far as Ah can see.
  • Fernandohas quoted3 years ago
    She bolted upright and peered out of the window and saw Johnny Taylor lacerating her Janie with a kiss.

    “Janie!”

    The old woman’s voice was so lacking in command and reproof, so full of crumbling dissolution,—that Janie half believed that Nanny had not seen her. So she extended herself outside of her dream and went inside of the house. That was the end of her childhood.
  • Fernandohas quoted3 years ago
    She was stretched on her back beneath the pear tree soaking in the alto chant of the visiting bees, the gold of the sun and the panting breath of the breeze when the inaudible voice of it all came to her.

  • Fernandohas quoted3 years ago
    Now, women forget all those things they don’t want to remember, and remember everything they don’t want to forget. The dream is the truth. Then they act and do things accordingly.
  • Fernandohas quoted3 years ago
    “If you so desire Ah’ll tell ‘em what you tell me to tell ‘em.”
