Women should not allow themselves to be caught up in the hype that says performance, meaning the motions, is what matters.

I believe that a child going without an education is a crime.

My mother had a saying: 'Kamala, you may be the first to do many things, but make sure you're not the last.

What's important for my daughter to know is that... if you are fortunate to have opportunity, it is your duty to make sure other people have those opportunities as well.

When you expand your ability to see, you understand that there are a lot of false choices being offered.

Don't pretend that you can just be oblivious to politics. You can't. What you never do is break your personal code. Have a code and keep it. You should never compromise what your priorities are.

Everyone's perspective of themselves and others is based on the limitations of their exposure.

The American dream belongs to all of us.

No woman should be told she can't make her own decisions about her body. If women's reproductive rights come under attack, I will be standing up for women.

To change criminal justice policy in any meaningful way means to propose changing a very longstanding system. It's not realistic to think you can do it overnight.

Neither compares nor competes. Be creative.

Whats better than followers, is actually falling in love

I always had the theory that the most important thing is be happy, enjoy what are you doing, and be fresh mentally.

Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner.

The roar of the crowd has always been the sweetest music. It's intoxicating.

A hair in the head is worth two in the brush.
