Brothers and sisters: Now is not the time for thinking small, now is not the time for the same-old, same-old establishment politics and stale inside-the-Beltway ideas.

The problems we face, did not come down from the heavens. They are made, they are made by bad human decisions, and good human decisions can change them.

What my campaign is about is a political revolution - millions of people standing up and saying, enough is enough. Our government belongs to all of us, and not just the hand full of billionaires.

Real change never occurs from the top on down, [but] always from the bottom on up.

It does not make much difference what a person studies-all knowledge is related, and the man who studies anything, if he keeps at it, will be learned.

There are lots of people who cannot think seriously without injuring their minds.

I am almost sick and giddy with the quantity of things in my head, all tempting and wanting to be worked out.

I'm lyrically driven, I'm not musically driven.
