"Gather out of star-dust, earth-dust, cloud-dust""I am the darker brother, they send me to eat""I've known rivers: ancient, dusky rivers""In this world of ours, there are dreams""To fling my arms wide in some place of the sun""What happens to a dream deferred? Does it explode?""I dream a world where man no other man will scorn""Why should I want to be white? ""Liberty means responsibility ""There is no color line in life ""Out of love, no regrets--though the goodness ""O, let my land be a land where Liberty ""Life is an egg you have to be patient and careful with ""The past has been a mint of blood and sorrow ""I've been in sorrow's kitchen and licked out all the pots""The weary blues echoed through the night ""The night winds whisper to me ""Life is fine! Fine as wine! ""Play by the rules, but be ferocious ""The boogie-woogie rumble of a dream deferred "
