Citáty Langston Hughes

„Keď sa o vás ľudia starajú a plačú kvôli vám, môžu narovnať vašu dušu.“

— Langston Hughes

O dušu, O ľuďoch

„Drž sa svojich snov pevne: pretože ak sny zomrú, Život zostane ako vták so zlomenými krídlami, ktorý nemôže lietať. Drž sa svojich snov pevne, pretože ak sny zomrú, Život je neúrodným poľom zamrznutým pod snehom.“

— Langston Hughes

O vtákoch, Život, O jedlu, O snoch

„Život je pre živých.
Smrť je pre mŕtvych.
Nech je život ako hudba.
A smrť ako nevyslovená poznámka.“

— Langston Hughes

Život, O smrti, O hudbe, O mŕtvych

„Nechaj dážď aby ti dal bozk. Nechaj dážď aby bil na tvoju hlavu striebornými kvapkami. Nechaj dážď nech ti zaspieva uspavanku.“

— Langston Hughes

O bozku

„Drž sa pevne snov
Ak zomrú sny
Život je vták zo zlomenym kridlom
ktory nemôže lietať.“

— Langston Hughes

O vtákoch, Život, O snoch

„Life is for the living.
Death is for the dead.
Let life be like music.
And death a note unsaid.“

Equality is in the air we breathe.“

„Hold fast to dreams
for if dreams die
life is a broken-winged bird
that can not fly.

Hold fast to dreams
for when dreams go
life is a barren field
frozen with snow.“

„Folks, I'm telling you,
birthing is hard
and dying is mean-
so get yourself
a little loving
in between.“

I set down on the bank.
I tried to think but couldn't,
So I jumped in and sank.“

like a raisin in the sun?“

— Langston Hughes
Context: 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? "Harlem"

I am the darker brother.“

Context: 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. "I, Too, Sing America," in the magazine Survey Graphic (March 1925); reprinted in Selected Poems (1959)
