Samantha Power
'Acting as if...' I decided, ridiculously in retrospect, that my experience covering women's volleyball for my college newspaper was sufficient for me to at least try to become a war correspondent.
Samantha Power
I think we do have an interest in combating states that try to cross borders and steal parts of other people's country.
Samantha Power
American decision-makers must understand how damaging a foreign policy that privileges order and profit over justice really is in the long term.
Samantha Power
Historical hypocrites have themselves carried out the very human rights abuses that they suddenly decide warrant intervention elsewhere.
Samantha Power
I'm going to Washington on a fateful, even historic, mission. I feel that I am an emissary of all Israel's citizens, even those who do not agree with me, and of the entire Jewish people
Samantha Power
Success is not about who never fails. It is about who can spring - or even stagger - back up.
