Ruth Bader Ginsburg — "I think that the court should be a beacon of hope."

"I became a lawyer because I did not like the way the world was. And I thought I could do something to change it."

"The first thing that comes to mind is how much I love the law."

"I do think that the court has become more politicized. It was not always thus. I mean, the justices were not appointed for partisan reasons."

"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 the law should be a tool for good. To make things better for people."
