Quotes by Langston Hughes, Selected Poems
"I will take your heart.I will take your soul out of your bodyAs though I were God.I will not be satisfiedWith the little words you say to me.I will not be satisfiedWith the touch of your handNor the sweet of your lips alone.I will take your heart for mine.I will take your soul.I will be God when it comes to you."
"The sea is a desert of waves,A wilderness of water."
"Joe has sense enough to knowHe is a god.So many gods don't know."
