Additional quotes by Langston Hughes

Way Down South in Dixie (Break the heart of me) They hung my black young lover To a cross roads tree.

I stay cool, and dig all jive,
That's the way I stay alive.
My motto,
as I live and learn,
is
Dig and be dug
In return.

O, yes, I say it plain, America never was America to me, And yet I swear this oath — America will be!
