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.

More quotes by Caroline Kennedy
I have a lifelong devotion to public service.
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
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 think that the presidency really brings out the best in a lot of people.
Caroline Kennedy
Sharing the holiday with other people, and feeling that you're giving of yourself, gets you past all the commercialism.
Caroline Kennedy
I've been a Democrat all my life.
Caroline Kennedy
I'm not as shy as everybody makes me out to be.
Caroline Kennedy
Growing up in politics I know that women decide all elections because we do all the work.
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 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
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
Now is the time to move this country forward.
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 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 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 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.
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
I know how important it is to, you know, to be my own person.
Caroline Kennedy
