I loved his movies! Lilies of the Field, Raisin in the Sun and A Patch of Blue are among my favorites. RIP dear sir!
All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.
