To have a romance, you have to have time. I'm a justice. I've written a book. The guy's gonna have to wait until I'm a little bit freer.
From Sonia Sotomayor
There are uses to adversity, and they don't reveal themselves until tested. Whether it's serious illness, financial hardship, or the simple constraint of parents who speak limited English, difficulty can tap unexpected strengths.
If I write a book where all I've ever experienced is success, people won't take a positive lesson from it. In being candid, I have to own up to my own failures, both in my marriage and in my work environment.
My job as a prosecutor is to do justice. And justice is served when a guilty man is convicted and an innocent man is not.
I do know one thing about me: I don't measure myself by others' expectations or let others define my worth.
My diabetes is such a central part of my life... it did teach me discipline... it also taught me about moderation... I've trained myself to be super-vigilant... because I feel better when I am in control.
There are cultural biases built into testing, and that was one of the motivations for the concept of affirmative action - to try to balance out those effects.
I am an ordinary person who has been blessed with extraordinary opportunities and experiences. Today is one of those experiences.
Whether born from experience or inherent physiological or cultural differences, our gender and national origins may and will make a difference in our judging.
I wouldn't approach the issue of judging in the way the president does. Judges can't rely on what's in their heart. They don't determine the law. Congress makes the law. The job of a judge is to apply the law.
