You can't have justice unless you have truth.

How I wish we lived in a time when laws were not necessary to safeguard us from discrimination.

If there is a doubt, I believe that I must put myself forward and undergo the people's judgment.

If you believe that discrimination exists, it will.

You cannot raise the standard against oppression, or leap into the breach to relieve injustice, and still keep an open mind to every disconcerting fact, or an open ear to the cold voice of doubt.

Everyone is a prisoner of his own experiences. No one can eliminate prejudices - just recognize them.

Justice is my being allowed to do whatever I like. Injustice is whatever prevents my doing so.

I can and do aspire to be greater than the sum total of my experiences, but I accept my limitations. I willingly accept that we who judge must not deny the differences resulting from experience and heritage but attempt, as the Supreme Court suggests, continuously to judge when those opinions, sympathies and prejudices are appropriate.

The principles of justice are chosen behind a veil of ignorance.

We must face the fact that the preservation of individual freedom is incompatible with a full satisfaction of our views of distributive justice.
