Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
All I can say is I am sensitive to discrimination on any basis because I have experienced that upset.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
People who think you could wave a magic wand and the legacy of the past will be over are blind.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
I try to teach through my opinions, through my speeches, how wrong it is to judge people on the basis of what they look like, color of their skin, whether they're men or women.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
You can't have it all all at once. Over my lifespan, I think I have had it all, but in given periods in time, things were rough. And if you have a caring life partner, you help the other person when that person needs it.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
At Cornell University, my professor of European literature, Vladimir Nabokov, changed the way I read and the way I write. Words could paint pictures, I learned from him. Choosing the right word, and the right word order, he illustrated, could make an enormous difference in conveying an image or an idea.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Each part of my life provided respite from the other and gave me a sense of proportion that classmates trained only on law studies lacked.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
How fortunate I was to be alive and a lawyer when, for the first time in United States history, it became possible to urge, successfully, before legislatures and courts, the equal-citizenship stature of women and men as a fundamental constitutional principle.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Collegiality is crucial to the success of our mission. We could not do the job the Constitution assigns to us if we didn't - to use one of Justice Antonin Scalia's favorite expressions - 'Get over it!'
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
All respect for the office of the presidency aside, I assumed that the obvious and unadulterated decline of freedom and constitutional sovereignty, not to mention the efforts to curb the power of judicial review, spoke for itself.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
The state controlling a woman would mean denying her full autonomy and full equality.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
America is known as a country that welcomes people to its shores. All kinds of people. The image of the Statue of Liberty with Emma Lazarus' famous poem. She lifts her lamp and welcomes people to the golden shore, where they will not experience prejudice because of the color of their skin, the religious faith that they follow.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Marty was an extraordinary person. Of all the boys I had dated, he was the only one who really cared that I had a brain. And he was always - well, making me feel that I was better than I thought I was.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
The emphasis must be not on the right to abortion but on the right to privacy and reproductive control.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
It's a facet of the gay rights movement that people don't think about enough. Why suddenly marriage equality? Because it wasn't until 1981 that the court struck down Louisiana's 'head and master rule,' that the husband was head and master of the house.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
I can't imagine what this place would be - I can't imagine what the country would be - with Donald Trump as our president.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Frankly, I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don't want to have too many of.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
There's nothing in the Constitution that says the President stops being President in his last year.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
My mother told me two things constantly. One was to be a lady and the other was to be independent, and the law was something most unusual for those times because for most girls growing up in the '40s, the most important degree was not your B.A. but your M.R.S.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
So that's the dissenter's hope: that they are writing not for today but for tomorrow.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
We have the oldest written constitution still in force in the world, and it starts out with three words, 'We, the people.'
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
A gender line... helps to keep women not on a pedestal, but in a cage.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
If you're going to change things, you have to be with the people who hold the levers.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Throwing out preclearance when it has worked and is continuing to work to stop discriminatory changes is like throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you are not getting wet.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Women will only have true equality when men share with them the responsibility of bringing up the next generation.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
You can't have it all, all at once. Who - man or woman - has it all, all at once? Over my lifespan, I think I have had it all. But in different periods of time, things were rough. And if you have a caring life partner, you help the other person when that person needs it.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Reacting in anger or annoyance will not advance one's ability to persuade.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
My mother told me to be a lady. And for her, that meant be your own person, be independent.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Ever since my colorectal cancer in 1999, I have been followed by the N.I.H. That was very lucky for me because they detected my pancreatic cancer at a very early stage.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
My mother was a powerful influence. She made me toe the line. If I didn't have a perfect report card, she showed her disappointment.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
The Democrats do fine in presidential elections; their problem is they can't get out the vote in the midterm elections.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Not a law firm in the entire city of New York bid for my employment as a lawyer when I earned my degree.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
I think we understand that for the Court to work well, we have to not only respect but genuinely like each other.
Quote by -Ruth Bader Ginsburg
The entering class I joined in 1956 included just nine women, up from five in the then second-year class, and only one African American. All professors, in those now-ancient days, were of the same race and sex.
