“All kin’s a vegetables in the garden, and if we want a little whisky we can sell a few eggs or something, or some milk. We’d jus’ live there. We’d belong there. There wouldn’t be no more runnin’ round the country and gettin’ fed by a Jap cook. No, sir, we’d have our own place where we belonged and not sleep in no bunk house.”
– John Steinbeck
Of Mice and Men, Chapter 3. George to Lennie on the worker’s dream – a place of their own, where they feel they belong and do not have to leave.
