I became a lawyer for selfish reasons. I thought I could do a lawyer’s job better than any other.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
My mother told me two things constantly. One was to be a lady, and the other was to be independent. The study of law was unusual for women of my generation. For most girls growing up in the '40s, the most important degree was not your B.A., but your M.R.S.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
We do not read (the law) to elevate accommodation of religious observances over an institution's need to maintain order and safety, ... We have no cause to believe that (the law) would not be applied in an appropriately balanced way, without sensitivity to security concerns.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
