Our party is a diverse one, as is my home state of Illinois.
I was a woman in a man’s world. I was a Democrat in a Republican administration. I was an intellectual in a world of bureaucrats. I talked differently. This may have made me a bit like an ink blot.
Their very conservatism is secondhand, and they don’t know what they are conserving.
When the body of the people is possessed of the supreme power, it is called a democracy.
It is our experience that political leaders do not always mean the opposite of what they say.
And after I make a lot of money, I’ll be able to afford running for office.
I always voted at my party’s call, and I never thought of thinking for myself at all.
I can’t let important policy decisions hinge on the fact that an election is coming up every 90 days.
What politicians want to create is irreversible change because when you leave office someone changes it back again.
We have, I fear, confused power with greatness.
