Elizabeth Edwards

I love my books.

I could be wrong, but I think heterosexual marriage is threatened more by heterosexuals. I don't know why gay marriage challenges my marriage in any way.

I'm completely comfortable with gay marriage.

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

I'm a recovering lawyer. The practice of law has changed. Every agreement is a fight.

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

I've had to come to grips with a God that fits my own experience, which is, my God could not be offering protection and not have protected my boy.

I have three living children for whom this is a father who I want them to love and on whom they're going to have to rely if my disease takes a bad turn.

To be perfectly frank, there is an odd place after losing a child, where you think somehow your life is worth less.

You have to have enough respect for other human beings to leave their lives alone. If you admire that life, build it for yourself. Don't just try to come in and take somebody else's life.

Life is this great big blackboard, and on it you write all the things that you do.

Almost everybody embraces life.
