Dissents Speak To A Future Age.

There Are Some Singers That Know Exactly When To Go, And Others Hang On Much Too Long And That Is The Same, That Is The Same With Judges.

My Own View, And I've Said This Many Times, Is As Long As I Can Do The Work Full Steam, I Will Stay On The Court. But When I Feel Myself Slipping, When I Slow Down In My Ability To Write Opinions With Fair Dispatch, When I Forget The Names Of Cases That I Once Could Recite At The Drop Of A Hat, I Will Know It Is Time For Me To Go.

Whatever Community Organization, Whether It's A Women's Organization, Or Fighting For Racial Justice ... You Will Get Satisfaction Out Of Doing Something To Give Back To The Community That You Never Get In Any Other Way.

Even The Declaration Of Independence Starts Out All Men Are Created Equal, So I See My Advocacy As Part Of An Effort To Make The Equality Principle Everything The Founders Would Have Wanted It To Be If They Weren't Held Back By The Society In Which They Lived And Particularly The Shame Of Slavery.

I Do Hope That Some Of My Dissents Will One Day Be The Law.
