- "There is an urgent need for Americans to look deeply into themselves and their actions, and musical poetry is perhaps the most effective mirror available. Every newspaper headline is a potential song."
- "Even though you can’t expect to defeat the absurdity of the world, you must make that attempt. That’s morality, that’s religion. That’s art. That’s life."
- "In such ugly times, the only true protest is beauty."

- "My deal is have a flat, simple tax. And – Americans want – Americans I hope – aspire to be – be wealthy. I hope they aspire to have a better quality of life. And we have this class warfare that’s going on now. And I don’t agree with that. I’m interested in people getting to work."― Rick Perry
- "I think it does suggest that the American people really do want to listen to somebody who actually has some solutions, some answers, and gives them some hope."― Carol Moseley Braun
