एक माँ जीवन भर माँ रहती है, लेकिन एक पिता तभी तक पिता है जब तक उसके पास पत्नी है।

A mother is a mother all of your life,but a father is a father only when he has a wife.

मैं चाहती हूँ कि अफ्रीकी-अमेरिकी समाज के साथ-साथ आम समाज में भी शादी के रिश्ते की अहमियत फिर से कायम हो।

I'd like to see marriage count again among African-Americans and not just in the society in general.

मेरे माता-पिता ने मेरा पूरा साथ दिया और हर कदम पर मेरा रास्ता आसान बनाया। उस दौर में जब महिलाएँ लगभग थीं ही नहीं—शायद इक्का-दुक्का दो-तीन महिलाएँ ही थीं—और अफ्रीकी-अमेरिकी महिलाएँ तो उससे भी बहुत कम थीं जो इस क्षेत्र में आगे बढ़ रही थीं। ऐसे में अपना मार्गदर्शन करने वाला कोई नहीं था। बस आपको अपने विश्वास पर टिके रहना होता था।

I had very supportive parents that made the way for me, even at a time when there were very few women - no women, really; maybe two or three women - and very few, fewer than that, African-American women heading in this direction, so there were very few people to look up to. You just had to have faith.

हमें इस देश में अपनी सामाजिक और वैचारिक चर्चाओं के स्तर को फिर से ऊँचा उठाना होगा। मेरा मतलब है कि हम चीखते-चिल्लाते हैं और बहस करते हैं जिससे हासिल कुछ नहीं होता, लेकिन आप सामने वाले की बात से पूरी तरह असहमत होने के बावजूद उसके दोस्त और परिचित बने रह सकते हैं।

We need to in this country begin again to raise civil discourse to another level. I mean, we shout and scream and yell and get very little accomplished, but you can disagree very much with the next guy and still be friends and acquaintances.

जब मैं बड़ी हो रही थी, तो अफ्रीकी-अमेरिकी समुदाय के लिए कई अहम बदलाव अमेरिकी सुप्रीम कोर्ट द्वारा और वकीलों के जरिए लाए जा रहे थे। मैं अदालती कार्यवाही को बहुत बारीकी से देखती थी और अपनी जिंदगी में यही करना चाहती थी।

When I was growing up, so many of the important changes for African-Americans were being made in the United States Supreme Court and were being made by lawyers. I followed the court very intensely and wanted to do that for my life.
