=== ''Let America Be America Again'', from ''A New Song'' (1938) ===
* Let America be America again. <br>Let it be the dream it used to be.

* Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed — <br>Let it be that great strong land of love <br>Where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme <br>That any man be crushed by one above.

* O, let my land be a land where Liberty <br>Is crowned with no false patriotic wreath, <br>But opportunity is real, and life is free, <br>Equality is in the air we breathe.

* I am the poor white, fooled and pushed apart, <br>I am the Negro bearing slavery's scars. <br>I am the red man driven from the land, <br>I am the immigrant clutching the hope I seek — <br>And finding only the same old stupid plan <br>Of dog eat dog, of mighty crush the weak.

* For all the dreams we've dreamed <br>And all the songs we've sung <br>And all the hopes we've held <br>And all the flags we've hung, <br>The millions who have nothing for our pay — <br>Except the dream that's almost dead today.

* O, let America be America again — <br>The land that never has been yet — <br>And yet must be — the land where ''every'' man is free.

* Sure, call me any ugly name you choose — <br>The steel of freedom does not stain. <br>From those who live like leeches on the people's lives, <br>We must take back our land again, <br>America!

* O, yes, <br>I say it plain, <br>America never was America to me, <br>And yet I swear this oath — <br>America will be!

* Out of the rack and ruin of our gangster death, <br>The rape and rot of graft, and stealth, and lies, <br>We, the people, must redeem <br>The land, the mines, the plants, the rivers. <br>The mountains and the endless plain — <br>All, all the stretch of these great green states — <br>And make America again!

=== ''Montage of a Dream Deferred'' (1951) ===

* '''My motto, <br>As I live and learn, <br> is: <br>Dig And Be Dug <br>In Return.'''
** "Motto"

* When you turn the corner <br>And you run into ''yourself'' <br>Then you know that you have turned <br>All the corners that are left.
** "Final Curve"

* Good evening, daddy <br>I know you’ve heard <br>The boogie-woogie rumble <br>Of a dream deferred 
** "Boogie: 1 a.m."

* Why should it be my loneliness, <br>Why should it be my song, <br>Why should it be my dream <br> deferred <br> overlong?
** "Tell Me"

* What happens <br> to a dream deferred? <br>Daddy, ain’t you heard?
** "Good Morning"

* '''What happens to a dream deferred? <br>Does it dry up <br>like a raisin in the sun?''' <br>Or fester like a sore <br>And then run? <br>Does it stink like rotten meat? <br>Or crust and sugar over <br>like a syrupy sweet? <br>Maybe it just sags <br>like a heavy load. <br>'''Or does it ''explode''?'''
** "Harlem"

* ''There’s a certain <br> amount of traveling <br> in a dream deferred.''
** "Same in Blues"

* ''A certain amount <br> of nothing <br> in a dream deferred.''
** "Same in Blues"

** "Same in Blues"

* You talk like they <br>don’t kick dreams <br>around downtown.
** "Comment on Curb"

* Democracy will not come <br>Today, this year <br> Nor ever <br>Through compromise and fear.
** "Democracy"

* I tire so of hearing people say, <br>''Let things take their course. <br>Tomorrow is another day.'' <br>'''I do not need my freedom when I’m dead. <br>I cannot live on tomorrow’s bread.'''
::'''Freedom<br> Is a strong seed<br>Planted <br> In a great need. <br> I live here, too.'''
:* "Democracy"

*Dream within a dream, <br>Our dream deferred. <br>Good morning, daddy! <br> Ain’t you heard?
** "Island"

* The instructor said, <p> Go home and write<br>a page tonight.<br>And let that page come out of you —<br>Then, it will be true.<br>
** "Theme from English B"

* It’s not easy to know what is true for you or me<br> at twenty-two, my age. But I guess I’m what<br> I feel and see and hear, Harlem, I hear you.
** "Theme from English B"

* Well, I like to eat, sleep, drink, and be in love.<br> I like to work, read, learn, and understand life.<br>I like a pipe for a Christmas present,<br> or records — Bessie, bop, or Bach.<br>I guess being colored doesn’t make me not like<br> the same things other folks like who are other races.
** "Theme from English B"

* '''You are white —<br> yet a part of me, as I am a part of you.''' <br> That’s American.<br> Sometimes perhaps you don’t want to be a part of me.<br> Nor do I often want to be a part of you.<br> But we are, that’s true!<br> As I learn from you,<br> I guess you learn from me —<br> although you’re older — and white —<br>and somewhat more free.<br>''' 
** "Theme from English B"

* Beauty for some provides escape, who gain a happiness in eyeing the gorgeous buttocks of the ape or Autumn sunsets exquisitely dying.

* Humor is laughing at what you haven't got when you ought to have it.

* Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby.

* Like a welcome summer rain, humor may suddenly cleanse and cool the earth, the air and you.

* Negroes — Sweet and docile, Meek, humble, and kind: Beware the day — They change their mind.

* We Negro writers, just by being black, have been on the blacklist all our lives ... Censorship for us begins at the color line.

* When peoples care for you and cry for you, they can straighten out your soul.

* No woman can be handsome by the force of features alone, any more that she can be witty by only the help of speech.

* To create a market for your writing you have to be consistent, professional, a continuing writer - not just a one-article or a one-story or a one-book man.
