“Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.”
“When peoples care for you and cry for you, they can straighten out your soul.”
“Like a welcome summer rain, humor may suddenly cleanse and cool the earth, the air and you.”
“Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow."
“I live in Harlem, New York City. I am unmarried. I like ‘Tristan,’ goat’s milk, short novels, lyric poems, heat, simple folk, boats and bullfights; I dislike ‘Aida,’ parsnips, long novels, narrative poems, cold, pretentious folk, buses and bridges.”
—Langston Hughes American – Poet February 1, 1902 – May 22, 1967
