Elizabeth Edwards

You know, I once read a short story about how much you could tell about people from their shoes. You could tell where they had been, what they did, whether they were real walkers.

I'm a puzzle doer.

We were never a family that had a lot. We had enough, but not a lot.

I grew up in a Navy family.

The way campaign funds are distributed are all a matter of record.

I hope I have important things to say.

Cancer is not a straight line. It's up and down.

I've had experiences that, you know, really couldn't be replaced.

I'm not just a cuckolded wife.

Maybe we all change over time.

I think I did marry a marvelous man.

I have an obligation to try to live as long as I can for my family.

I'm not praying for God to save me from cancer. I'm not. God will enlighten me when the time comes. And if I've done the right thing, I will be enlightened. And if I believe, I'll be saved. And that's all he promises me.

I have a lot that I intend to do in this life.

I don't expect to get yesterday's medicine. If I can help it, I'd like to get tomorrow's medicine.

We're all going to die.

The military is already sexually integrated.

I'm completely comfortable with gay marriage.

I don't know why someone else's marriage has anything to do with me.

There is nothing about resilience that I can say that my father did not first utter silently in eighteen years of living inside a two-dimensional cutout of himself.
