People have a tremendous range of options of how they can behave. There's so much in people.

Some people have made the argument, well, Donald Trump is bad, but Hillary Clinton may be worse, or there's really no difference. That's insane. That's completely insane.

Donald Trump has this ability to reach out and touch the beast inside so many people.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of guns going off, you know, guns held by white men acting as vigilantes, cops who feel more free to open fire against African Americans.

If someone's pointing a gun at you, you get a surge of adrenaline, but it would be a lot better if they weren't pointing the gun at you in the first place.

Hillary Clinton isn't that different from Obama in terms of policy.

Water seeks its own level. Look at them. The Tigris, the Euphrates, the Mississippi, the Amazon, the Yangtze. The world's great rivers. And every one of them finds its way to the ocean.

Heaven knows that I have done all that a mortal could do, to save the people, and the failure was not my fault, but the fault of others.

Fighting is like life. You can do everything to a tee. You can show up and fail. That's no reason to quit.

You can't put this possum in a cage

Life is not about finding our limitations, it's about finding our infinity.

And me happiest when I compose poems: Love, power, the huzza of battle are something, are much: yet a poem includes them like a pool water and reflection.

In life, when the baggage gets too heavy, you have to put it down.
