Langston Hughes on Dreams
← Back to Langston Hughes Profile
“Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly.”
“What happens to a dream deferred?Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore — And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over — like a syrupy sweet?Maybe it just sags like a heavy load. Or does it explode?”
