More quotes by Ruth Bader Ginsburg
I am a judge born, raised, and proud of being a Jew. The demand for justice runs through the entirety of the Jewish tradition. I hope, in my years on the bench of the Supreme Court of the United States, I will have the strength and the courage to remain constant in the service of that demand.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg
If we gave up our freedom as the price of security, we would no longer be the great nation that we are.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Our goal in the '70s was to end the closed door era. There were so many things that were off limits to women, policing, firefighting, mining, piloting planes. And the stereotypical view of people of a world divided between home and child caring women and men as breadwinners, men representing the family outside the home.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
You're saying, no, state said two kinds of marriage the full marriage, and then this sort of skim-milk marriage.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
I do hope that some of my dissents will one day be the law.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
If you have a caring life partner, you help the other person when that person needs it. I had a life partner who thought my work was as important as his, and I think that made all the difference for me.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Dissents speak to a future age.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
The written argument endures. The oral argument is fleeting.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
It is not women's liberation, it is women's and men's liberation.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
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.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Prisons should be co-ed because separate quarters are discriminatory.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Every constitution written since the end of World War II includes a provision that men and women are citizens of equal stature. Ours does not.
