Additional quotes by Langston Hughes

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

Cheap little rhymes
A cheap little tune
Are sometimes as dangerous
As a sliver of the moon.

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.
