pretty speech

“I had a pretty speech all prepared, but the news this morning convinced me to throw that all away,” she said of the developing clashes around the country between protesters and law enforcement after George Floyd was killed by arresting police in Minneapolis last week.

Asked by an audience member what it would take to defeat Republican President Trump in 2020, Harris touted her resume and said: “I make this not as a criticism of anyone, but a proven track record and leadership, not just somebody who can give a pretty speech.”

I made a pretty speech regarding how all of what we know is but a small light space in the theater of matter; and that space is unfurled around us like a set piece upon a stage. I opined that nothing exists without us to perceive it.”

“Brutus made a pretty speech, but Caesar was betrayed.”
