Song lyrics, Songs from the West Coast (2001)
“Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.”
"Dreams," from the anthology Golden Slippers: An Anthology of Negro Poetry for Young Readers, ed. Arna Bontemps (1941)
“Open your eyes wide and immerse yourself in your dreams without any hesitation!”
Optical Illusions (2017).
“If dreams of flying are the last hope of freedom, I will pray for wings with my last breath.”
The Crippled God (2011)

“We must not only open our eyes, but our arms, our wings.”
Light (1919), Ch, XXI - No!
Context: Ah, there are cloudy moments when one asks himself if men do not deserve all the disasters into which they rush! No — I recover myself — they do not deserve them. But we, instead of saying "I wish" must say "I will." And what we will, we must will to build it, with order, with method, beginning at the beginning, when once we have been as far as that beginning. We must not only open our eyes, but our arms, our wings.
