It’s easier to hold onto your own stereotypes and misconceptions, it makes you feel justified in your own ignorance. That’s America. So the challenge for us is, are we ready for change?

Michelle Obama

It’s hard to change adults, and it’s hard to change it from a political position or a perceived political position.

It’s hard to make speeches with your hair in your face!

It’s important for us not to lose sight of the fact that this is a family that’s grieving and there’s been a tremendous loss. And we all have to rally around that piece of it.

It’s like, remember who you always were, where you came from, who your parents were, how they raised you. Because that authentic self is going to follow you all through life, so make sure that it’s solid so it’s something that you can hold on and be proud of for the rest of your life.

Michelle Obama

Kids, everybody can get behind. It’s a bipartisan thing. We care about our kids’ health. But the truth is, it’s very important for us to talk to parents, in particular mothers, because it’s really our self-esteem, it’s our initiative.

Michelle Obama

Know that America belongs to you, to all of you.

Michelle Obama

Let me tell you something. For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country, because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback.

Michelle Obama

Millions of Americans who know that Barack understands their dreams; that Barack will fight for people like them; and that Barack will finally bring the change we need.

Michelle Obama

Much of what we do with our kids is social and that’s good, and we shouldn’t stop all that. I mean, how boring would it be that, no, we can’t eat anything out so we’re just going to go home and sit in the closet and wait to the next day.
