Quotes

  • There’s no scent of new notebooks or freshly waxed floors. The rooms are dark as the bright young faces that should fill them are now confined to boxes on a computer screen.
  • The state of Delaware has loved the Bidens and cheered for us in most of our triumphant moments. It has carried us through the darkest times in our lives with a kindness that asks for nothing in return. Delaware is family.
  • You cannot go into a war zone and come away unchanged. You don’t have to see the sorrow with your eyes because you can feel it with your heart.
  • Raul helped build this organization with the understanding that the diversity of this community, as distinct as the bodegas of the Bronx, as beautiful as the blossoms of Miami, and as unique as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio, is your strength.
  • We recognize it as an act of bravery and beauty, of daring and defiance. And we look forward to a time when that courage is no longer needed, when all people in all places can feel the freedom and the joy that we feel here today.
  • So, it was late on a warm October night in Las Vegas. [W]e were all candidates’ spouses at the time, but there was an energy in the air that brought us all together, and we had the chance to get to know one another. And we made a promise then that our next Pride celebration would be on the South Lawn of the White House. And now, here we are once again, but it was just a little too hot and humid out there to be on the lawn.
