The quote I found being one of my favorites is "Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly" by Langston Hughes. Langston Hughes is an american poet and social activist. Hughes is best known for being a leader of the Harlem Renaissance in New York City. I chose this quote because I had read this quote before in one of my classes and we discussed the meaning and I really liked the powerful meaning behind it. This quote connects to me because I need to remember to never give up when it gets difficult because I need to continue on so that I reach and accomplish all my dreams one day. If I had to describe this quote to a friend I would tell them how it's talking about not letting go of dreams when you think it's impossible to reach them because without working towards a dream your life is dull. If you never even try to do better how are you supposed to evolve in life. Five words that describe this quote are: Determination, Empowering, Inspirational, Goals, and Journey.
