What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? ... Or does it explode?
Langston HughesI'm so tired of waiting, aren't you, for the world to become good and beautiful and kind?
Langston HughesLawrence has a wonderful hill in it, with a university on top and the first time I ran away from home, I ran up the hill and looked across the world: Kansas wheat fields and the Kaw River, and I wanted to go some place, too. I got a whipping for it.
Langston HughesIn the spring rain, the pond and the river become one. Into every life some rain must fall. Usually when your car windows are down. It raineth on the Just and the Unjust Alike, But the Unjust stealeth the Just's umbrella Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby.
