Their Eyes Were Watching God-ch.1-2

This quote means that men watch the boats everyday becasue they believe that one day somehting special will come off that boat. For other men they hope it will come in by sea. For others there dream is to sail forever and to never land until the watcfher turns his head and dies. Women dont want to rememver all the things they forgot, but for other women they want to remember everything they dont want to forget. And then they end up doing things the way they wanted to do them.
