Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow

“I’d like to state that Spike Lee is not saying that African American culture is just for black people alone to enjoy and cherish. Culture is for everybody.”
“I think people who have faults are a lot more interesting than people who are perfect.”
“If we became students of Malcolm X, we would not have young black men out there killing each other like they’re killing each other now. Young black men would not be impregnating young black women at the rate going on now. We’d not have the drugs we have now, or the alcoholism.”
“It comes down to this: black people were stripped of our identities when we were brought here, and it’s been a quest since then to define who we are.”
“Our greatness, our talent has never been the question. It’s been a matter of grappling for control over what we do.”
“I’m just trying to tell a good story and make thought-provoking, entertaining films. I just try and draw upon the great culture we have as a people, from music, novels, the streets.”
“It is really important that young people find something that they want to do and pursue it with passion. I’m very passionate about filmmaking. It’s what I love to do.”
Happy 55th Birthday to film director, producer, writer, and actor Shelton Jackson “Spike” Lee (b. March 20, 1957)
