In my view, one of the major reasons that we have so many people in jail is that we have turned our backs on a lot young people.

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.

The word of God gives hope.

It turns out there is something worse than attending a wedding where you don't know anyone: attending a wedding where you know six people, and they are all your ex-husband's best friends.

But steel bars have never yet kept out a mob it takes something a good deal stronger: human courage backed up by the consciousness of being right.

You've got to remember that men are men and women are women. And although a lot of similarities, there are some real differences.

If truth is the lure, humans are fishes.

It is often spur-of-the-moment decisions, sometimes made by others, that can change our whole lives.

There is something fundamentally wrong with the way we normally live our lives and we'd sort of like to find out what it is.

Poems can't help but be personal. Mine are certainly an accurate blueprint of the things I think about, if not a record of my daily life.
