What John Bartlett Missed

[ciroccoj]

I really think I'm going to like Legislation. Doing the readings yesterday, I came across a bunch of pretty cool quotes in the section on legislative equality analysis.


"I believe that the desire for justice of every human being is the source of our desire for equality. For inequality is injustice."
Madam Justice Claire L'Heureux-Dubé, 1996.

"As long as you keep a person down, a part of you has to be down there to hold him down, so it means you cannot soar as high as you might."
Marion Anderson, American delegate to the United Nations, 1954.

"The more powerful we are, the less we may be able to see that the world coincides with our view precisely because we shaped it in accordance with our view."
Martha Minow, Making All the Difference.


And now for something completely different:

BOY: On a hot summer night would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?

GIRL: Will he offer me his mouth?

BOY: Yes

GIRL: Will he offer me his teeth?

BOY: Yes

GIRL: Will he offer me his jaws?

BOY: Yes

GIRL: Will he offer me his hunger?

BOY: Yes

GIRL: Again, will he offer me his hunger?

BOY: Yes!

GIRL: And will he starve without me?

BOY: Yes!

GIRL: And does he love me?

BOY: Yes

GIRL: Yes

BOY: On a hot summer night would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?

GIRL: Yes

BOY: I bet you to say that to all the boys.

Might I use the first quote from your "quotey-goodness" (I loved that line) list for a paper I'm writing...I know it's not copyrighted or anything, but in case you were saving it for something special!

Por supuesto

Of course, go ahead. Oh - and just in case you need this for footnote purposes, L'Heureux-Dube was on the Canadian Supreme Court, not US.

Thanks, I checked the link you had and was like, "Ah hah! I see..".
