Our criminal justice system is fallible. We know it, even though we don't like to admit it. It is fallible despite the best efforts of most within it to do justice. And this fallibility is, at the end of the day, the most compelling, persuasive, and winning argument against a death penalty.
Eliot Spitzer
I think people should know more of Africa in terms of its joie de vivre, its feeling for life. In spite of the images that one knows about Africa - the economic poverty, the corruption - there's a joy to living and a happiness in community, living together, in community life, which may be missing here in America.

Pink Floyd is like a marriage that's on a permanent trial separation.
Rick Wright
Automation and technology would be a great boon if it were creative, if there were more leisure, more opportunity to engage in raising a family, providing guidance to the young, all the stuff we say we need. America will work if we're all in it together. It'll work when there's a shared sense of destiny. It can be done!
Jerry Brown
Love, too, has to be learned.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The grim fact is that we prepare for war like precocious giants, and for peace like retarded pygmies.
Lester B. Pearson
Despite our very recent appearance on the planet, humanity combines arrogance with increasing material demands, even as we become more numerous. Our toughness is a delusion. Have we the intelligence and discipline to vigilantly guard against our tendency to grow without limit?
Lynn Margulis

The judge should not be young; he should have learned to know evil, not from his own soul, but from late and long observation of the nature of evil in others: knowledge should be his guide, not personal experience.
Plato
When a woman has scholarly inclinations there is usually something wrong with her sexuality
As a partner in a firm full of women who work outside of the home as well as stay at home mothers, all with plenty of children, gender equality is not a talking point for me. It is an issue I live every day.
Hilary Rosen
The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well.
J.K. Rowling

Cassandra Peterson
Break the glass, please, and free us from all these damned rules, from needing to find an explanation for everything, from doing only what others approve of.
How long most people would look at the best book before they would give the price of a large turbot for it?
John Ruskin
