More From Paul Wellstone
- "It is the belief that extremes and excesses of inequality must be reduced so that each person is free to fully develop his or her full potential. This is why we take precious time out of our lives and give it to politics."
- "There is a major ingredient missing from our perception of how changes are brought about; that ingredient is power."
- "What makes community organizing especially attractive is the faith it places in the ability of the poor to make decisions for themselves."

- "You just let your lower self go, and then it takes on all these aspects of the society – the city with horns blowing, the people yelling things at each other, and the all-in-all violence and chaos of the city. Put that on stage with music, and that’s what this is."― Alice Cooper
- "Vast is the field of Science. The more a man knows, the more he will find he has to know."― Samuel Richardson
- "But one way or another, judges perform a very vital function in our society. They have a risky job and they are entitled to security."― Arlen Specter
