In a funny way, poems are suited to modern life. They're short, they're intense. Nobody has time to read a 700-page book. People read magazines, and a poem takes less time than an article.

More quotes by 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
When you make the right decision, it doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks.
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 come to believe, more strongly than ever, that after people die they really do live on through those who love them.
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
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
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
Poetry is really a way of sharing feelings and ideas.
Caroline Kennedy

Change isn't easy, it takes time.
Caroline Kennedy
Growing up in politics I know that women decide all elections because we do all the work.
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
I've been a Democrat all my life.
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 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.
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
The most beautiful people are all in the library.
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 grew up in New York, I love New York.
Caroline Kennedy
I think that the presidency really brings out the best in a lot of people.
