More quotes by Caroline Kennedy
I feel like my grandparents and parents gave me a tremendous amount. And if I can pass some of that on, then I'll be very happy.
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
I've raised three kids. I'm a lawyer. I've written books on the Constitution.
Caroline Kennedy
Now is the time to move this country forward.
Caroline Kennedy
I have a lifelong devotion to public service.
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
To the extent that we are all educated and informed, we will be more equipped to deal with the gut issues that tend to divide us.
Caroline Kennedy
I've campaigned for people. I've campaigned across the country for people. I have supported people in local elections. I do work with groups and causes. So, I feel like I am a participant and a civically-engaged citizen.

Change isn't easy, it takes time.
Caroline Kennedy

Caroline Kennedy
In those rare moments, when such a person comes along, we need to put aside our plans and reach for what we know is possible.
Caroline Kennedy
When you're going through something, whether it's a wonderful thing like having a child or a sad thing like losing somebody, you often feel like 'Oh my God, I'm so overwhelmed I'm dealing with this huge thing on my own.' In fact, poetry's a nice reminder that, no, everybody goes through it. These are universal experiences.
Caroline Kennedy
I'm not as shy as everybody makes me out to be.
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
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
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
As much as we need a prosperous economy, we also need a prosperity of kindness and decency.
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
In my family in particular, I think, there was a sense we have to work twice as hard.
Caroline Kennedy
Growing up in politics I know that women decide all elections because we do all the work.
