Love is a naked shadow On a gnarled and naked tree. - Langston Hughes

...the only way to get a thing done is to start to do it, then keep on doing it, and finally you'll finish it,....

Well, I like to eat, sleep, drink, and be in love. I like to work, read, learn, and understand life. I like a pipe for a Christmas present, or records — Bessie, bop, or Bach. I guess being colored doesn’t make me not like the same things other folks like who are other races.

While over Alabama earth These words are gently spoken: Serve — and hate will die unborn. Love — and chains are broken.
