You can't always expect a certain result, but you can expect to do your best.
Anita Hill

Anita Hill
Testifying has helped me understand that one individual's behavior and actions make a difference. That my actions are important to people other than myself
Anita Hill
But I think it would be irresponsible for me not to say what I really believe in my heart to be true - that there are some serious inequities that we face as women and that we can work to address these inequities
Anita Hill
I work every day to live up to my mother's model. She was a very proud woman. And she really prepared me to go off into the world as a proud daughter.
Anita Hill
Certainly my life will not ever be as private and discreet, and perhaps I should even use the word insulated, as it was before
Anita Hill
I see myself as an educator.
Anita Hill
I think, though, as African-American women, we are always trained to value our community even at the expense of ourselves, and so we attempt to protect the African-American community.
Anita Hill
We have a history of gender and racial bias on our court that continues to undermine the system. Excluding individuals based on race is antagonistic to the pursuit of justice.
Anita Hill
I'm not sure I can say there is a clean line between me as an individual and me as a lawyer.
Anita Hill
I am hopeful that others who have suffered sexual harassment will not become discouraged by my experience, but instead will find the strength to speak out about this serious problem.
