Here are some famous quotes by Langston Hughes:
1. ”Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.”
2. ”I, too, sing America. I am the darker brother. They send me to eat in the kitchen when company comes, but I laugh, and eat well, and grow strong.”
3. ”Life is for the living. Death is for the dead. Let life be like music. And death a note unsaid.”
4. ”What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?”
5. ”I dream a world where man no other man will scorn, where love will bless the earth and peace its paths adorn.”
6. ”I have discovered in life that there are ways of getting almost anywhere you want to go, if you really want to go.”
7. ”Hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow.”
8. ”I swear to the Lord, I still can’t see why Democracy means everybody but me.”
9. ”Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby.”
10. ”We know we are beautiful. And ugly, too. The tom-tom cries, and the tom-tom laughs. If colored people are pleased, we are glad. If they are not, their displeasure doesn’t matter either. We build our temples for tomorrow, strong as we know how, and we stand on top of the mountain, free within ourselves.”
These quotes reflect Hughes’s poetic style and his insights on themes of dreams, identity, race, and the human experience.
