What inspires me most are people who imagine and implement solutions to challenges in their own lives, in their communities, in our country and around the world.

Millennials are often portrayed as apathetic, disinterested, tuned out and selfish. None of those adjectives describe the Millennials I've been privileged to meet and work with.

I do really well in the traditional board games: Backgammon, Checkers.

Caricatured as navel-gazers, Millennials are said to live for their 'likes' and status updates. But the young people I know often leverage social media in selfless ways.

My marriage is incredibly important to me. It's the place from which I engage in the world every day, and the place to which I return every day.

I think that we need women role models everywhere. I think that it's really hard to imagine yourself as something that you don't see.

Celebrate those who have the courage to be second, because I do think that often there really is this claustrophobic pressure to innovate instead of to adapt.

Patience is a virtue, but impatience gets things done.

When we look at that jingoism and the sexism and the racism and the homophobia, that's not who we are, and that's not the country that I want my daughter to grow up in.

I'm a big health-food freak and a vegetarian devotee.

Even during my father's 1984 gubernatorial campaign, it was, 'Do you want to grow up and be governor one day?' 'No. I am four.'

Compassion is the basis of morality.

Without patience, one cannot get far in life.

The corniest movie ever made about the white man's need to lose his identity and assuage racial, political, sexual and historical guilt.

I used to think that once a writer became a man of letters, if only for a half hour, he was done for. And here I am now, at the very moment of such an odious, though respectable, danger.

Oppression has no logic--just a self-fulfilling prophecy, justified by a self-perpetuating system.

Young African - millennials really love Barack Obama.

Whenever I talk to survivors [of a domestic abuse relationship] who have lived through that and are on the other side and their whole perspective on life is a complete 180, I'm just so inspired.

For to be yong I wald not, for my wis, Off all this warld to mak me lord and king: The more of age, the nerar hevynnis blis.

That has nothing to do with basketball. That's just because I'm sexy.

The greatest accomplishment is not in never failing, but in rising again after you fall.
