black children dreams fit god man seems
Seems like God don't see fit to give the black man nothing but dreams -- but He did give us children to make them dreams seem worthwhile.
dream children men
Seems like God don't see fit to give the black man nothing but dreams - but He did give us children to make them dreams seem worthwhile.
dream children eye
Big Walter used to say, he'd get right wet in the eyes sometimes, lean his head back with the water standing in his eyes and say, 'Seem like God didn't see fit to give the black man nothing but dreams - but He did give us children to make them dreams seem worth while.'
dream holding-on wanted
What you ain't never understood is that I ain't got nothing, don't own nothing, ain't never really wanted nothing that wasn't for you. There ain't nothing as precious to me...There ain't nothing worth holding on to, money, dreams, nothing else--
dream giving-up circles
It isn't a circle--it is simply a long line--as in geometry, you know, one that reaches into infinity. And because we cannot see the end--we also cannot see how it changes. And it is very odd by those who see the changes--who dream, who will not give up--are called idealists...and those who see only the circle we call them the "realists"!

There is always something left to love. And if you ain't learned that, you ain't learned nothing.
groups oppressed
Obviously the most oppressed of any oppressed group will be its women
caring care too-much
I care. I care about it all. It takes too much energy not to care.
men violence he-man
Take away the violence and who will hear the men of peace?
beautiful wish
I wish to live because life has within it that which is good, that which is beautiful, and that which is love.
talking heaven
Everybody talking 'bout heaven ain't going there!
