Additional quotes by Langston Hughes

Daddy, daddy, daddy, All I want is you. You can have me, baby — but my lovin’ days is through. A certain amount of impotence in a dream deferred.

Life is for the living.
Death is for the dead.
Let life be like music.
And death a note unsaid.

Love is a naked shadow On a gnarled and naked tree.
