Langston Hughes Quotes

Hard as I try, daddy-o, I really do not like concert singers. They are always singing in some foreign language Picture Quote #1

What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore-- And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over-- like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags like a heavy load. Or does it explode? Picture Quote #1

Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly Picture Quote #1

Beauty for some provides escape, who gain a happiness in eyeing the gorgeous buttocks of the ape or Autumn sunsets exquisitely dying Picture Quote #1

I have discovered in life that there are ways of getting almost anywhere you want to go, if you really want to go Picture Quote #1

Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby Picture Quote #1

I've known rivers: I've known rivers ancient as the world and older than the flow of human blood in human veins. My soul has grown deep like the rivers Picture Quote #1

I was so sick last night I didn't hardly know my mind. So sick last night I didn't know my mind. I drunk some bad licker that almost made me blind Picture Quote #1

Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed - let it be that great strong land of love where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme that any man be crushed by one above Picture Quote #1

O, let my land be a land where liberty Is crowned with no false patriotic wreath, but opportunity is real, and life is free, equality is in the air we breathe Picture Quote #1

For all the dreams we've dreamed and all the songs we've sung and all the hopes we've held and all the flags we've hung, the millions who have nothing for our pay - except the dream that's almost dead today Picture Quote #1

Sure, call me any ugly name you choose - The steel of freedom does not stain. From those who live like leeches on the people's lives, We must take back our land again, America! Picture Quote #1

Why should it be my loneliness, why should it be my song, why should it be my dream deferred overlong? Picture Quote #1

I tire so of hearing people say, let things take their course. Tomorrow is another day. I do not need my freedom when I'm dead. I cannot live on tomorrow's bread Picture Quote #1

Drink took to me, said Simple. Whiskey just naturally likes me but beer likes me better Picture Quote #1

This morning I paid seventy cents for two little old dried-up slivers of bacon and one cockeyed egg. It took me till noon to get my appetite back Picture Quote #1

Don't come giving me, who's old enough to die and too near blind to create anything any more anyhow, a great big banquet that you eat up in honor of your own stomachs as much as in honor of me - who's toothless and can't eat Picture Quote #1
