Additional quotes by Langston Hughes

Believing everything she read
In the daily news,
(No in-between to choose)
She thought that only
One side won,
Not that BOTH
Might lose.

Impasse

I could tell you
If I wanted to,
What makes me
What I am.

But I don't
Really want to –
And you don't
Give a damn.

Frosting

Freedom
Is just frosting
On somebody else's
Cake — And so must be
Till we
Learn how to
Bake.

O, let America be America again — The land that never has been yet — And yet must be — the land where every man is free. - Langston Hughes
