In my view, a corporation is not a person. A corporation does not have First Amendment rights to spend as much money as it wants, without disclosure, on a political campaign.

A nation will not survive morally or economically when so few have so much and so many have so little.

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.

An America where every person, no matter their race, their disability or their sexual orientation realizes the full promise of equality that is our birthright as Americans.

It's better to show up than to give up.

It's time to make our government work for all of us... and not just the 1%.

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

It costs a hell of a lot more money to put somebody in jail than send them to the University of Virginia.

The point is change can come about, but it only comes about when millions of people are actively involved in political struggle, the billionaires may have the money, but we have the people.

What kind of nation are we when we give tax breaks to billionaires, but we can't take care of the elderly and the children.

Death persecutes before it executes.

I'll never make it, it will never happen, because they're never going to hear me 'cause they're screaming all the time.

It's been a great place to get in touch with what people are really thinking. And to make contact with readers and other writers. Egalitarian, wide open, like the Wild West!

All our dreams begin in youth.

Never let your fears hold you back from pursuing your hopes.

What the devil to do with the sentence "Who the devil does he think he's fooling?" You can't write "Whom the devil- ".

I don't see any easy way of disqualifying people on the basis that they decide not to work.

Sculpture and painting have the effect of teaching us manners and abolishing hurry.

I try to count the blessings rather than the problems.

I like to quote things.
