Elizabeth Warren, as quoted in Elizabeth Warren summons memory of Edward Kennedy as she rallies Democrats (4 September 2012)
“
Ted Kennedy changed my life. He changed how I understood what a public servant does. And I think of him in this race every single day, and I come to this convention, and I think of him every single hour. And what I think about is that it is my job and it is our job to live up to what it is Senator Kennedy asked of himself, and that is, we do our work for hard-working families who are counting on us.
