I refuse to let the past find me here.

I know because I read...Your mind is not a cage. It's a garden. And it requires cultivating.

I love you for who you are, not who the world thinks you should be.

I'm sorry, Gemma. But we can't live in the light all of the time. You have to take whatever light you can hold into the dark with you.

You couldn't be perfect enough to keep the world from betraying you.

The hand you hold the longest is your own.

There are no safe choices. Only other choices.

Jeez, someone needs to push the reset button on this planet.

Write like it matters, and it will.

People will believe anything if it means they can go on with their lives and not have to think too hard about it.

Women who have power are always feared.

And that is how change happens. One gesture. One person. One moment at a time.

There is a major ingredient missing from our perception of how changes are brought about; that ingredient is power.

Politics is not about power.

Without trying, I'm different.

I'm short, I'm Jewish and I'm a liberal

Politics is not about winning for the sake of winning.

I think the future also will not belong to those who are cynical or those who stand on the sidelines

Let there be no distance between the words you say and the life you live.
