As an optimist, I choose to be glass-half-full about [Donald Trump] while still very cautiously appreciating and understanding the fear that a lot of our fellow citizens have.

[Donald Trump's] instincts are way more favorable to the LGBTQ community than any other Republican that was on the stage.

I'm shocked, like all of us, including Donald Trump, 'cause let's not pretend that even Donald Trump thought he was going to win this election.

Women can have their own kids and not have a husband or not have a partner.

That something that really concerns me because I have good reason to believe and be hopeful, rather, this was the best posture of any Republican in history towards LGBTQ issues.

What I hope we will see from [Donald] Trump very quickly is inclusive rhetoric and rhetoric that brings the temperature down and comforts people so that children feel safe going to school.

Nature! I think it my duty to serve its beauty.

Even in death, her mother was winning.

At every single moment of one's life one is going to be no less than what one has been.

A mother is a person who if she is not there when you get home from school you wouldn't know how to get your dinner and you wouldn't feel like eating it anyway.

My husband and I were born three weeks apart, and our plan had always been to throw a joint party for our 40th birthdays.

I live and reign since I have abandoned those pleasures which you by your praises extol to the skies. [Lat., Vivo et regno, simul ista reliqui Quae vos ad coelum effertis rumore secundo.]

Always listen to your customers.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

I don't want to have the threat of the sky falling on my head or some idiot pushing some button that sets off World War Three.

You can share your testimony in many ways, by the words you speak, by the example you set, by the manner in which you live your life.
