More quotes by Caroline Kennedy
In my family in particular, I think, there was a sense we have to work twice as hard.
Caroline Kennedy
Poetry is really a way of sharing feelings and ideas.
Caroline Kennedy
I never thought I'd be doing poetry books. I never really studied poetry. But the first one I did was after my mother died, and I realized that people sort of think and talk about her style and fashion, but in fact, what made her the person she was was really her love of reading and ideas.
Caroline Kennedy
After my mom died, there was so much written about her fashion and her style and all that, and I felt that one of the most important parts of her was missing, her real intellectual curiosity.
Caroline Kennedy
I feel that my father's greatest legacy was the people he inspired to get involved in public service and their communities, to join the Peace Corps, to go into space. And really that generation transformed this country in civil rights, social justice, the economy and everything.
Caroline Kennedy
As much as we need a prosperous economy, we also need a prosperity of kindness and decency.
Caroline Kennedy
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.
Caroline Kennedy
I have a lifelong devotion to public service.
Caroline Kennedy
I enjoy writing. I enjoy that kind of process.
Caroline Kennedy
I know how important it is to, you know, to be my own person.
Caroline Kennedy
I have come to believe, more strongly than ever, that after people die they really do live on through those who love them.
Caroline Kennedy
I know my mother so well, so it's hard for me to remember that people have a certain image of her, but they don't really know her personality.
Caroline Kennedy
The biggest problem is people are afraid of poetry, think they can't understand it or that it will be boring.
Caroline Kennedy
We need a President who is not afraid of complexity, who believes in an open and tolerant society, and who knows that the world can be made new again - and that President is Al Gore.
Caroline Kennedy
Well, I think, you know, the arts are really what - one of the things that make this country strong. We always think it's our economy or our military power, but in fact, I think it's our culture, our civilization, our ideas, our creativity.
Caroline Kennedy
It is not easy to stand up against your constituents or your friends or colleagues or your community and take a tough stand for something you believe is right. Because you always want to keep working and live to fight another battle and it might cost you your career.
Caroline Kennedy
Now is the time to move this country forward.
Caroline Kennedy
When you make the right decision, it doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks.
Caroline Kennedy
I have never had a president who inspired me the way people tell me that my father inspired them. But for the first time, I believe I have found the man who could be that president - not just for me, but for a new generation of Americans.
Caroline Kennedy
I'm not as shy as everybody makes me out to be.
Caroline Kennedy
