I often said that if I had any talent in the world, it would be as an opera diva. But my voice is not up to it.

More from Ruth Bader Ginsburg
"I don't think there's any one way to be a feminist. I think it's about believing in equal opportunity for men and women."
"You can't have it all, all at once."
"I wish there was a way I could be more like Justice Scalia."
"As women achieve power, the barriers will fall. As society sees what women can do, as women see what women can do, there will be more women out there doing things, and we’ll all be better off for it."
"I think that the government should not be involved in making choices for people."
About Ruth Bader Ginsburg (1933-2020)
Associate Justice of the US Supreme Court (1993-2020), gender-equality litigator at the ACLU Women's Rights Project before the bench, and the second woman ever appointed. Closely associated with Sandra Day O'Connor (first woman Justice and her predecessor in that role) and Elena Kagan (Obama-appointed colleague). For an intellectual contrast, see Antonin Scalia, conservative originalist Justice (1936-2016) — RBG and Scalia disagreed on nearly every major constitutional case but maintained a famous personal friendship over opera. Their friendship-across-doctrinal-divide became the canonical example of judicial collegiality despite total disagreement — and Scalia's originalism vs RBG's living-Constitution liberalism are the cleanest two American constitutional methodologies.
