Additional quotes by Langston Hughes

Gather out of star-dust,
Earth-dust,
Cloud-dust,
Storm-dust,
And splinters of hail,
One handful of dream-dust,
Not for sale.

Hold fast to dreams,
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird,
That cannot fly.

Looks like what drives me crazy
Don't have no effect on you — But I'm gonna keep on at it
Till it drives you crazy, too.
