More from Langston Hughes
"I do not need my freedom when I'm dead. I cannot live on tomorrow's bread."
"The stars went out and so did the moon. The singer stopped playing and went to bed. While the Weary Blues echoed through his head."
"I am so tired of waiting, aren’t you, for the world to become good and beautiful and kind?"
"The moon is a disc of silver, the stars are tiny diamonds, and the night is a black velvet cloth."
"I have seen the world, and it is a strange place."
