QUOTES OFTHEDAY

“But while I may be the first woman in this office, I won’t be the last. Because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities. And to the children of our country, regardless of your gender, our country has sent you a clear message – dream with ambition, lead with conviction, and see yourself in a way that others might not see you, simply because they’ve never seen it before. And we will applaud you every step of the way”

- Kamala Harris, who will become the first female, black and IndianAmerican vice president of the

United States.

“Together we have demonstrated the power of kindness and compassion”
