I Think That The Presidency Really Brings

In My Family In Particular, I Think, There Was A Sense We Have To Work Twice As Hard.

My Mother ... Had A Very Deep Inner Spirituality That Allowed Her To Rebuild Her Life. It's Extraordinary That She Had Such A Strong Sense Of Self And Such A Commitment To The Future And Such A Strong Creative Sense That She Could Build New Worlds For Herself And For Us Out Of The Total Devastation In Her Life.

People Don't Always Realize That My Parents Shared A Sense Of Intellectual Curiosity And A Love Of Reading And Of History.

One Of The Greatest Gifts My Brother And I Received From My Mother Was Her Love Of Literature And Language. With Their Boundless Energy, Libraries Open The Door To These Worlds And So Many Others. I Urge Young And Old Alike To Embrace All That Libraries Have To Offer.

Many People Remember That Spirit That President Kennedy Summoned Forth. Many People Look To Me As Somebody Who Embodies That Sense Of Possibility.
