I did not want my tombstone to read, 'She kept a really clean house.' I think I'd like them to remember me by saying, 'She opened government to everyone.'

I have very strong feelings about how you lead your life. You always look ahead, you never look back.

Let me tell you, sisters, seeing dried egg on a plate in the morning is a lot dirtier than anything I've had to deal with in politics.

If you can't fill the till, then don't pass the bill.

Power is what calls the shots, and power is a white male game.

Learn to enjoy your own company. You are the one person you can count on living with for the rest of your life.

I have a real soft spot in my heart for librarians and people who care about books.
