People who are well represented at trial do not get the death penalty.

I do think that being the second [female Supreme Court Justice] is wonderful, because it is a sign that being a woman in a place of importance is no longer extraordinary.

Adult women are able to make decisions about their own lives' course no less than men are.

I said on the equality side of it, that it is essential to a woman's equality with man that she be the decision-maker, that her choice be controlling.

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

Women will only have true equality when men share with them the responsibility of bringing up the next generation.

One thing that concerns me is that today's young women don't seem to care that we have a fundamental instrument of government that makes no express statement about the equal citizenship stature of men and women. They know there are no closed doors anymore, and they may take for granted the rights that they have.
