Hold fast to dreams,For if dreams dieLife is a broken-winged... - Langston Hughes

"Cheap little rhymesA cheap little tuneAre sometimes as dangerousAs a sliver of the moon."

"Humor is laughing at what you haven't got when you ought to have it."

"Yet the ivory gods, And the ebony gods, And the gods of diamond-jade, Are only silly puppet gods That people themselves Have made.-"

"Well, I like to eat, sleep, drink, and be in love.I like to work, read, learn, and understand life."

"Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly."
