Quotes by Countee Cullen
-
There is no secret to success except hard work and getting something indefinable which we call 'the breaks.' In order for a writer to succeed, I suggest three things - read and write - and wait.
Read quote -
Your love to me was like an unread book.
Read quote -
For we must be one thing or the other, an asset or a liability, the sinew in your wing to help you soar, or the chain to bind you to earth.
Read quote -
Whatever lives is granted breath But by the grace and sufferance of Death.
Read quote -
The loss of love is a terrible thing; They lie who say that death is worse.
Read quote -
Give but a grain of the heart's rich seed, Confine some under cover, And when love goes, bid him God-speed. And find another lover.
