Clarence Darrow
Liberty is the most jealous and exacting mistress that can beguile the brain and soul of man.
Clarence Darrow

Clarence Darrow
Justice has nothing to do with what goes on in a courtroom Justice is what comes out of a courtroom
Clarence Darrow
Chase after the truth like all hell.
Clarence Darrow
I am simply an agnostic. I haven't yet had time or opportunity to explore the universe, and I don't know what I might run on to in some nook or corner.
