More From Barack Obama
- "I have Muslim members of my family. I have lived in Muslim countries."
- "We need to internalize this idea of excellence. Not many folks spend a lot of time trying to be excellent."
- "But what we can do, as flawed as we are, is still see God in other people, and do our best to help them find their own grace. That’s what I strive to do, that’s what I pray to do every day."

- "In my rational mind, I know… that is a very simplistic way of looking at it, but when there is violence of that kind, it challenges my faith. I still can’t say that I totally understand why – why that is allowed to happen."― Linda Vester
- "I was brought up in the War. I was an adolescent in the Second World War. And I did witness in London a great deal of the Blitz."― Harold Pinter
