Bob Kerrey

When you're fighting for economic and social justice, you're always fighting for the minority.

The problem is you tend to look back and identify mistakes, and as a consequence of feeling terrible about mistakes you say you bungled this so bad, let's get out of here.

But on the big things, I'm not going to trim in order to win public opinion. Because I really don't want to serve in the Senate if I arrive there without permission to do the things I think need to be done.

I value public service and I'm relatively good at organizing political causes.

There is no force more liberating than the knowledge that you are fighting for others.

It's not clear in the U.S. at the moment, either. We're going through another election.
