In an attempt to ease the lose of Ruth Bader Ginsburg I've assembled a few of her more memorable quotes.
“People ask me sometimes, ‘When will there be enough women on the court?’ My answer is: ‘When there are nine.’ People are shocked. But there’d been nine men, and nobody’s ever raised a question about that.”
“I spent no time fretting, and found a way to do what I thought important to get done.”
“A gender line helps keep women not on a pedestal, but in a cage.”
“I don’t say women’s rights—I say constitutional principle of the equal citizenship stature of men and women.”
“Women belong in all places where decisions are being made. It shouldn’t be that women are the exception.”
“Reading is the key that opens doors to many good things in life. Reading shaped my dreams, and more reading helped me make my dreams come true.”
“There was a senator, I think it was after my pancreatic cancer, who announced with great glee that I was going to be dead within six months. That senator, whose name I have forgotten, is now himself dead, and I am very much alive.”
“I would like to be remembered as someone who used whatever talent she had to do her work to the best of her ability.”
