I believe that a worthwhile life is defined by a kind of spiritual journey and a sense of obligation.

What we have to do . . . is to find a way to celebrate our diversity and debate our differences without fracturing our communities.

The challenge is to practice politics as the art of making what appears to be impossible, possible.

Women are always being tested . . . but ultimately, each of us has to define who we are individually and then do the very best job we can to grow into it.

You show people what you're willing to fight for when you fight your friends.
