James Weldon Johnson Quotes

My Love For My Children Makes Me Glad That I Am What I Am, And Keeps Me From Desiring To Be Otherwise; And Yet, When I Sometimes Open A Little Box In Which I Still Keep My Fast Yellowing Manuscripts, The Only Tangible Remnants Of A Vanished Dream, A Dead Ambition, A Sacrificed Talent, I Cannot Repress The Thought, That After All I Have Chosen The Lesser Part, That I Have Sold My Birthright For A Mess Of Pottage
