- Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of, but stigma and bias shame us all.
- The road to tyranny, we must never forget, begins with the destruction of the truth."

- We all do better when we work together. Our differences do matter, but our common humanity matters more.
- Being president is like running a cemetery: you've got a lot of people under you and nobody's listening.
- For all the cruelty and hardship of our world, we are not mere prisoners of fate. Our actions matter, and can bend history in the direction of justice.
- No man is above the law and no man is below it; nor do we ask any man’s permission when we ask him to obey it. Obedience to the law is demanded as a right, not asked as a favor.
- This man in the Oval Office is a soulless coward who thinks that he can only become large by belittling others. This has of course been a common practice of his, but to do it in this manner—and to lie about how previous Presidents responded to the deaths of soldiers—is as low as it gets.
- What I hope at the end of the day is that this really is about my eight years, and the bridge stuff is part of that, and the Trump stuff is part of that, but it’s only a part.
