“There’s a huge difference in the attitude of the people of the United States of America toward women in politics. It has taken an enormous turn toward equality.”

Let me tell you, life is interesting regardless of when you are in the fight.

I don’t know how long I’m going to live, but I hope my seeds are pretty good.

I’ve been there for so many crossroads in American history. My whole political life spans the birth of the environmental movement, the women’s movement, the civil rights movement, putting an end to unjust wars, and so and so.

I have to say that after chemotherapy, Barbara Boxer just isn’t that scary anymore.

Iraq was a war of choice, not necessity.

I think America should amass a strategy for success, and set out the milestones. We need to help the Iraqis get their democracy up and running, we’ve got to help them train their military and police and security people, and we’ve got to start moving out.

If something is opinion, put it in the opinion section: Don’t put it in the facts section.

I’ve faced the grief, I’ve faced the anger, and I’m ready to keep up the fight because America is worth fighting for.

Just look at the Judiciary Committee, You have some people on the Judiciary Committee who may well decide not to send the nomination to the floor, and now it all depends on what Democrats do.

I must be doing something right. I was raised to stand up to the bully in the schoolyard, and you don’t lose that.

If you dared to put your opinion into a factual piece, your editors said, “You can’t do this. Write an op-ed.”

President Bush in his inaugural address talked about bringing freedom to countries that don’t have it. He didn’t specify how.

When you take a stand out of deep conviction, people know. They may not even agree, but they ask, ‘Do I want someone who is willing to take a hard stand and someone I can trust to do that when the chips are down?’ They want that.

We have the greatest hospitals, doctors, and medical technology in the world – we need to make them accessible to every American.

Medical professionals, not insurance company bureaucrats, should be making health care decisions.

So when you go up against the Far Right you go up against the big financial special interests like the Halliburtons of the world, the big oil companies, the big energy companies who work so hard to rip us off.

The difference between ordinary and extra-ordinary is so often just simply that little word – extra. And for me, I had always grown up with the belief that if someone succeeds it is because they are brilliant or talented or just better than me…

Everyone gets the same twenty-four hours in a day, the difference is how you use it.

In New York I was always offered the hot, sexy roles. But in L.A. I was offered the plain, dowdy roles. It says a lot about the difference between the coasts

The only difference between ‘try’ and ‘triumph’ is varying degrees of ‘umph’

A bomb is a bomb, what’s the difference between different kinds of bombs? All bombs are to kill, but it’s about how to use it.

I’m not very good at practice. But if you tell yourself you love the hole and love hitting it on the fairway, it’s a big difference.

The way I see it, a person isn’t nothing more than a scarecrow… The only difference between one that stands up good and one that blows over is what kind of a stick they’re stuck up there on.

I don’t want to talk about methods of killing. But what is the difference between a bomb worn on the body and one dropped from an airplane? Both of them kill people.
