Quote by Alan Dershowitz

All sides in a trial want to hide at least some of the truth.

All sides in a trial want to hide at least some of the truth

Summary

This quote suggests that during a trial, all parties involved - including the defense, prosecution, and even the judge - have a desire to conceal certain aspects of the truth. The implication is that each side operates with its own agenda, seeking to present evidence and arguments that support their case, while possibly disregarding or downplaying conflicting information. It implies that the pursuit of justice in a trial may sometimes be clouded by the competing interests of the different parties involved, rather than solely focused on the absolute truth.

It facilitates labor and thought so much that there is alway

It facilitates labor and thought so much that there is always the temptation in large schools to omit the endless task of meeting the wants of each single mind, and to govern by steam. But it is at frightful cost. Our modes of Education aim to expedite, to save labor; to do for masses what cannot be done for masses, what must be done reverently, one by one: say rather, the whole world is needed for the tuition of each pupil.

I can only note that the past is beautiful because one never realises an emotion at the time. It expands later, and thus we don't have complete emotions about the present, only about the past.

I have urged on woman independence of man, not that I do not

I have urged on woman independence of man, not that I do not think the sexes mutually needed by one another, but because in woman this fact has led to an excessive devotion, which has cooled love, degraded marriage and prevented it her sex from being what it should be to itself or the other. I wish woman to live, first for God's sake. Then she will not take what is not fit for her from a sense of weakness and poverty. Then if she finds what she needs in man embodied, she will know how to love and be worthy of being loved.

Margaret Fuller
