Summary

This quote suggests that in a court, where legal matters are deliberated and decided upon, the situation becomes more complicated and unclear. It implies that the inherent confusion and uncertainty surrounding a case amplifies within the court environment. As opposing arguments are presented, viewpoints clash, evidence is examined, and judgments are made, the initial confusion deepens rather than being resolved. This quote portrays court as a space where complexity and ambiguity thrive, often leading to intensified disagreement and uncertainty.

Just as we reject racism, sexism, ageism, and heterosexism, we reject speciesism. The species of a sentient being is no more reason to deny the protection of this basic right than race, sex, age, or sexual orientation is a reason to deny membership in the human moral community to other humans.

Have you ever noticed that Jesus is never recorded as taking a holiday? He retired for the purposes of his mission, not from it. He was never destroyed by his work; he was always on top of it. He moved among people as the master of every situation. He was busier than anyone; the multitudes were always at him, yet he had time, for everything and everyone. He was never hurried, or harassed, or too busy. He had complete supremacy over time; he never let it dictate to him. He talked of my time; my hour. He knew exactly when the moment had come for doing something and when it had not.

Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate, than that these people are to be free; nor is it less certain that the two races, equally free, cannot live in the same government. Nature, habit, opinion have drawn indelible lines of distinction between them.
