I would not like to be the only woman on the court.

Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.

Work hard on each opinion, but once the case is decided, don't look back; go on to the next case and give it your all. It's not productive to worry about what's out and released, over and done. That's advice I now give to people new to the judging business.

The state controlling a woman would mean denying her full autonomy and full equality.

We should learn ... to do our best for the sake of our communities and for the sake of those for whom we pave the way.

Every constitution written since the end of World War II includes a provision that men and women are citizens of equal stature. Ours does not.

Whatever community organization, whether it's a women's organization, or fighting for racial justice ... you will get satisfaction out of doing something to give back to the community that you never get in any other way.
