We need to find a way forward to make sure that we can stop terrorists while protecting the privacy, and liberty, of innocent Americans.

You can’t let your failures define you. You have to let your failures teach you.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

Keep exploring. Keep dreaming. Keep asking why. Don’t settle for what you already know. Never stop believing in the power of your ideas, your imagination, your hard work to change the world.

Just because we have the best hammer does not mean that every problem is a nail.

Change is never easy, but always possible.

Don’t ever let anybody tell you that your efforts don’t matter or that your voice doesn’t count. Don’t ever believe that you can’t make a difference. You have.

Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up.

Learning to stand in somebody else's shoes, to see through their eyes, that's how peace begins. And it's up to you to make that happen. Empathy is a quality of character that can change the world.

If somebody is different from you, that's not something you criticize, that's something that you appreciate.

[Y]ou [man] are fool enough, it seems, to dare to war with [woman=] me, when for your faithful ally you might win me easily.

Everything changes, and there’s no denying that. But change isn’t always bad, as long as you hold onto who you truly are, and hold onto each other.

The most inspirational feeling I can come up with is.......The feeling of presence.

At dances when I was a little kid, Art would be up there singing while I'd be dancing with some girl a foot taller than me.

Love is pleasure accompanied by the idea of an external cause, and hatred pain accompanied by the idea of an external cause.

I don't think I can get anywhere near to fully describing what love is.

I love black people, but I hate niggers.

To think is easy. To act is difficult. To act as one thinks is the most difficult.

I think women want to look beautiful. I think that's an important thing. It is relevant.
