“I believe that we are not a nation of fear, but a nation of love--a love that heals, not hurts, a love that affirms the dignity and humanity of all, not diminishes the poor and the marginalized. I believe that this broken system, which afflicts us all, will be repaired. It must be if we are to hold true to our most precious ideals of liberty and justice for all.”
― Cory Booker, United: Thoughts on Finding Common Ground and Advancing the Common Good

“This is a question, to go together or go alone, that each of us has to answer. The destiny of our country will surely depend on how many of us choose to join forces and fight the battles of our time, side by side. Cynicism about America's current state of affairs is ultimately a form of surrender; a toxic state of mind the perpetuates the notion that we don't have the power to make a difference, that things will never change. This idea is not only wrong, it is dangerous.”
― Cory Booker, United: Thoughts on Finding Common Ground and Advancing the Common Good
