If you look back at the great classics and the epics and myths, they were for everyone. Different people got different things from them, but everyone was invited to participate.
Quote by -Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
In community work, you reach some people, but in writing, I can reach many more people, not only in exploring issues of domestic violence, but also by showing the importance of strong women in communities.
Quote by -Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
I show women growing, changing, becoming stronger in many kinds of situations.
Quote by -Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
We even had a different word for Christmas in my language, Bengali: Baradin, which literally meant 'big day.'
Quote by -Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
My favorite part was when my grandfather and I would make a special trip to Firpo's Bakery for red and green Christmas cookies and fruitcake studded with the sweetest cherries I've ever tasted. Usually Firpo's was too expensive for our slim budget, but Christmas mornings they gave a discount to any children who came in.
Quote by -Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
As I remember my grandfather and those Christmas mornings he gave for a little girl's pleasure, I know that often a big life starts with doing small things.
Quote by -Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
It's never really easy to be successful as a writer when you're trying to write literary fiction. You've already limited your readership limited by that choice.
Quote by -Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
As I've written more, and as other Indian American voices have grown around me, I strive harder to find experiences that are unique yet a meaningful and resonant part of the American story.
Quote by -Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
I've been interested in dreams myself for a long time, and it's a big part of the Indian tradition, especially where I was brought up in Calcutta in my family, which is quite traditional.
Quote by -Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
In Western dream interpretation, it's often connected to psychotherapy and looking at the personality and what's going on in your life. In Eastern dream telling, many times there's this idea of a special gift. And without this gift, you could study and study, but you'd never really become an effective dream teller.
Quote by -Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
In many immigrant families, the parents are just talking and talking about the home country until the children are like, 'Oh, don't tell us any more.'
Quote by -Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
I interviewed a lot of people in India, and I asked my mother to send me a lot of Bengali books on the tradition of dream interpretation. It's a real way for me to remember how people think about things in my culture.
Quote by -Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
The robots are coming, whether we like it or not, and will change our economy in dramatic ways.
Quote by -Kristen Soltis Anderson
Political science has long tried to tackle a fundamental question of voter behavior: Do voters choose politicians because those politicians hold views that they like, or do voters choose policy positions because the politicians they like say those positions are correct?
Quote by -Kristen Soltis Anderson
There is nothing just or fair about what happened to Jordan Edwards. And his story is yet another in a long line of tragedies that now powerfully remind us of the long way we still have to go in creating a fair and just relationship between law enforcement, our criminal justice system, and the public our laws are supposed to protect.
Quote by -Kristen Soltis Anderson
I do not think it is a coincidence that young people gravitated toward populist voices in the French election and that the two issue positions where Donald Trump and young voters seem to agree most - global engagement and trade - are rooted in populism.
Quote by -Kristen Soltis Anderson
On paper, Emmanuel Macron should be a candidate tailor-made for young voters. He himself is young. He pushes for more entrepreneurship, modernization, and a loosening of regulations that prevent young workers from working as they please when they please.
Quote by -Kristen Soltis Anderson
What is a fair way to structure our economy? To handle those who did not come to America legally? To distribute scarce public resources and benefits?
Quote by -Kristen Soltis Anderson
Boosting STEM education opportunities for young women globally is one critical way that the U.S. can promote women's equality, as well as economic development, around the world.
Quote by -Kristen Soltis Anderson
It is fair to debate how much either bill - Obamacare in 2010, tax reform in 2018 - had or will have an impact on the midterms.
Quote by -Kristen Soltis Anderson
The data - on issues and on Trump himself - keep pointing back to 'one-in-four' as the true size of Trump's base. It is around one in four who like the tweeting, like the insults, the things other people say are mean or unproductive behavior.
Quote by -Kristen Soltis Anderson
Breaking dramatically with Bush-era Republican orthodoxy, Trump ran on a message of 'America First' and of avoiding spending blood and treasure on adventures overseas.
Quote by -Kristen Soltis Anderson
In 2012, when Mitt Romney named Russia as our greatest geopolitical foe, Democrats scoffed and accused Republicans of trying to ignite a new Cold War.
Quote by -Kristen Soltis Anderson
When polled on Donald Trump's agenda, though pluralities of young people oppose his policies on immigration and healthcare, there is one issue where Trump's position wins outright majority support, even among young Democrats: trade.
Quote by -Kristen Soltis Anderson
With an economy that is going strong and a belief that tomorrow will be better than today, it may be easier to just shrug it off if, say, an internet service you use like WhatsApp gets turned off by the government as the Communist Party's national congress approaches.
Quote by -Kristen Soltis Anderson
In the year 2000, the very youngest members of the Baby Boomer crew were in their mid-30s while the oldest Boomers were mid-50s. That year, the Boomers were a generation divided somewhat equally between the GOP and Democrats.
Quote by -Kristen Soltis Anderson
My dad is an electrical engineer. So he was always very focused on, you know, teaching his daughters about, you know, science, math, technology. None of us actually became engineers for our careers, but I always had that exposure when I was young, and I just loved playing computer games.
Quote by -Kristen Soltis Anderson
For thousands of years, humans have used the art of storytelling to motivate and persuade.
Quote by -Kristen Soltis Anderson
For Trump, the story is everything. There is no real plan to defeat the villains that Trump tees up, of course.
Quote by -Kristen Soltis Anderson
Polling is an art as well as a science, and the art of crafting good questions is still vital.
Quote by -Kristen Soltis Anderson
Not long ago, women in Afghanistan were required by Taliban leadership to be covered nearly head-to-toe and were barely allowed to leave the home; that young Afghan women today are not only accessing an education but are able to meet young people from around the world and cheer on a robot of their own making is something beautiful.
Quote by -Kristen Soltis Anderson
The things that frustrate one piece of Trump's coalition often endear him to or embolden another wing of the coalition.
Quote by -Kristen Soltis Anderson
A compelling story requires conflict, friction, an obstacle to be overcome.
Quote by -Kristen Soltis Anderson
As a member of the oldest slice of the Millennial generation, my teenage years spanned the late 1990s through the start of the new millennium. I spent that time watching a lot of MTV's 'Total Request Live', 'Dawson's Creek', and wearing out a dual VHS tape of 'Titanic'.
Quote by -Kristen Soltis Anderson
For some in my generation, Sept. 11th was a moment of political awakening. For others, the Iraq War or the financial crisis or the rise of Obama were the major events of their teenage years that began to lay the foundation for their views.
Quote by -Kristen Soltis Anderson
Feeling unsafe in your own home? Look no further than those terrorists and criminals and illegal immigrants who have been given free reign and on whom Trump says we need to 'get tough.'
Quote by -Kristen Soltis Anderson
President Trump rightly points out that law enforcement is mostly made up of good people putting themselves in harm's way to protect us. He lauds the men and women in blue and often talks about the need to make it easier for the cops to do their jobs.
Quote by -Kristen Soltis Anderson
Donald Trump has had political success positioning himself as a 'law-and-order' candidate.
Quote by -Kristen Soltis Anderson
When people note that more and more voters are cutting their landline phones and that more and more people are refusing to pick up phone calls from numbers they don't know, they are identifying problems that the polling industry has long struggled with and continue to try to adapt to.
Quote by -Kristen Soltis Anderson
President Trump is right about at least one thing: No matter what he does, America cannot stop talking about him.
Quote by -Kristen Soltis Anderson
There are certainly more Republicans who like President Trump than like 'Republicans in Congress,' and certainly many Republicans who already feel like their own Congress is a brake pedal of its own.
Quote by -Kristen Soltis Anderson
In 2014, topics like Black Lives Matter, the Middle East, and Ebola were prominent in the national discussion, with mentions of then-President Barack Obama making up a relatively small slice of the discussion on news twitter.
Quote by -Kristen Soltis Anderson
Hillary Clinton famously embraced the Trump-originated label 'nasty woman' as yet another way to show just how bad Donald Trump was to women.
