Ni Kama Kukamua Dubu Ili Kupata Krimu
It is Like Milking a Bear to Get Cream
KISWAHILI
"Inaonekana kwangu kuwa kujaribu kuishi bila marafiki ni kama kukamua dubu ili kupata krimu ya kahawa yako ya asubuhi. Ni shida chungu nzima, halafu haina thamani kubwa baada ya kuipata.” - Zora Neale Hurston (1891-1960), Dust Tracks on the Road (1942)
