Alan Dershowitz
It is the wall of separation between church and state . . . that is largely responsible for religion thriving in this country, as compared to those European countries in which church and state have been united, resulting in opposition to the church by those who disapprove of the government.
Alan Dershowitz

Alan Dershowitz
I will continue to fight for justice, fairness, and constitutional rights until my dying breath.
Alan Dershowitz

Alan Dershowitz
We have to fulfill what the real meaning of the Second Amendment is: reasonable access to guns for self-protection and for hunting. And there's no room in America for these semiautomatic, automatic and other kinds of weapons that are simply designed to cause mass havoc.
Alan Dershowitz
The first rule for escaping prison in the United States is always having someone more important than yourself to incriminate.
Alan Dershowitz
I think that lawyers are terrible at admitting that they're wrong. And not just admitting it also realizing it. Most lawyers are very successful, and they think that because they're making money and people think well of them, they must be doing everything right.
Alan Dershowitz
There are many levels of truth.
Alan Dershowitz
When I was growing up, my mother would always say, 'It will go on your permanent record.' There was no 'permanent record.' If there were a 'permanent record,' I'd never be able to be a lawyer. I was such a bum, in elementary school and high school... There is a permanent record today and it's called the Internet.
Alan Dershowitz
Most liberal democracies don't try to figure out what the truth is.
Alan Dershowitz
Good character consists of recognizing the selfishness that inheres in each of us and trying to balance it against the altruism to which we should all aspire. It is a difficult balance to strike, but no definition of goodness can be complete without it.
Alan Dershowitz
We live in an age where there is both more expression and more self-censorship than existed even a decade ago.

Rights must always stay ahead of technology to assure that constitutional protections apply to all forms of communication.
Alan Dershowitz
