"We have a responsibility to always press for the growth of civil society."

"The violence is enormous. The numbers of refugees coming out is intolerable. The killing, the wanton destruction is unacceptable."

"We stand for optimism and opportunity and equality. And we stand in opposition to all those who would replace hope with hate."

"the politics could be very, very difficult absent a shift here that becomes more inclusive, more democratic, more respectful of the opposition and so forth."
