"I see my work as part of a mighty river running throughout history, creating change and cutting into the river bank and moving along. For the time that I’m here, I will help it move along. There are many who have gone before me that have gotten the river to this point, and many who will follow, each making an individual decision to step forward with countless acts of individual courage and love and caring. But the real power lies in the collection of voices throughout time."
—Nan Grogan Orrock, Georgia legislator and president of the Women Legislators' Lobby (WiLL)
