"Once we understand the principles of justice, we can then apply them to the real world, and see what kind of society they would lead to."
"We are not trying to find a theory that explains our considered judgments of justice; we are trying to find a theory that justifies them."
"The principles of justice are those that would be chosen by rational beings in a situation of equality."
"The concept of right is prior to that of the good."
"The concept of a person as free and equal is a fundamental idea in justice as fairness."
