"I refuse to believe it's time to stop believing in the possibilities of
our remarkable country.
I refuse to accept the downsizing of the American Dream.
I refuse to bet against American entrepreneurial spirit and American ingenuity."
- John Kerry

"What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? . . . Or does it explode?"
- Langston Hughes
