Quotes about raisin
1. HarlemWhat 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?
- Langston Hughes, The Collected Poems
2. A raisin on the ground is full of hope that if it just keeps aging, it will turn into wine and get drunk on its wrinkly self.
