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 have been called a lot of things in my life, but 'fluffy' is not one of them."
"I think that the court should be a beacon of hope."
"I think that the law should reflect the changing times. It shouldn't be static."
"I think the best way to get people to understand is to tell them stories. To show them how things affect real people."
"I think the most important thing is to have a good education. That's what my mother always told me."
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.
