"Then isn’t there something wrong in a house – in a world! – where all dreams, good or bad, must depend on the death of a man?" Beneatha Walter
"I'll strap my baby on my back if I have to and scrub all the floors in America and wash all the sheets in America if I have to—but we got to MOVE!"Ruth Walter
"I’m not worried about who I am. I am going to be a doctor, and everybody around here better understand that!""Well – you finally got it said . . . It took you three years but you finally got it said. Walter: Who the hell told you you had to be a doctor?" Beneatha Walter
"Son – you – you understand what I done, don’t you? I just seen my family falling apart today . . . When it gets like that in life – you just got to do something different, push on out and do something bigger." Lena (Mama) Younger
"And we have decided to move into our house because my father—my father—he earned it for us brick by brick. We don’t want to make no trouble for nobody or nothing, but we will try to be good neighbors. And that’s all we got to say about that." Walter Lee Younger
"There simply is no God! There is only man and it is he who makes miracles!" Beneatha Walter
