"Let America be the dream the dreamers..." - Quote by Langston Hughes

“Sometimes I wish the public were equally aware of the men of our race in the cultural fields. You, for instance, have you ever bought a book by a Negro writer?”

“I'm so tired of waiting, aren't you, for the world to become good and beautiful and kind?”

“7 x 7 plus love = An amount Infinitely above: 7 x 7 - love.”

“I never really made a choice to live in America, so I should be aware of the social strata outside of the ones that I may live in.”

“I must face the fact, as all others in positions of leadership must do, that America today is an extremely sick nation, and that something could well happen to me at any time. I feel, though, that my cause is so right, so moral, that if I should lose my life, in some way it would aid the cause.”

“May every day be a new beginning, and every dawn bring us closer to that shining city upon a hill.”

“If ever they remembered their life in this world it was as one remembers a dream.”

“Mr. Knightley, if I have not spoken, it is because I am afraid I will awaken myself from this dream.”

“I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit together at the table of brotherhood.”
