I do hope that some of my dissents will one day be the law.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg 126 quotes

We will never see a day when ...

We will never see a day when women of means are not able to get a safe abortion in this country.

I certainly respect the belief of the Hobby Lobby owners. On the other hand, they have no constitutional right to foist that belief on the hundreds and hundreds of women who work for them who don't share that belief.

My biographers... would like to have my time at the court almost complete before they finish the book. We decided... to flip the order.

At Columbia Law School, my professor of constitutional law and federal courts, Gerald Gunther, was determined to place me in a federal court clerkship, despite what was then viewed as a grave impediment: On graduation, I was the mother of a 4-year-old child.

Ever since my colorectal cancer in 1999, I have been followed by the N.I.H. That was very lucky for me because they detected my pancreatic cancer at a very early stage.

If you just needed the skills...

If you just needed the skills to pass the bar, two years would be enough. But if you think of law as a learned profession, then a third year is an opportunity for, on the one hand, public service and practice experience, but on the other, also to take courses that round out the law that you didn't have time to do.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg 126 quotes

When police or prosecutors co...

When police or prosecutors conceal significant exculpatory or impeaching material, we hold, it is ordinarily incumbent on the state to set the record straight.

It won't happen. It would be an impossible dream. But I'd love to see 'Citizens United' overruled.

It's not simply to say, 'My colleagues are wrong, and I would do it this way,' but the greatest dissents do become court opinions.

The label 'liberal' or 'conse...

The label 'liberal' or 'conservative,' any - every time I hear that, I think of the great Gilbert and Sullivan song from 'Iolanthe.' It goes, 'Every gal and every boy that's born alive is either a little liberal or else a little conservative.' What do those labels mean? It depends on whose ox is being gored.

At my advanced age - I'm now an octogenarian - I'm constantly amazed by the number of people who want to take my picture.

Dissents speak to a future age.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg 126 quotes

You can't have it all all at ...

You can't have it all all at once. Over my lifespan, I think I have had it all, but in given periods in time, things were rough. And if you have a caring life partner, you help the other person when that person needs it.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg 126 quotes

America is known as a country...

America is known as a country that welcomes people to its shores. All kinds of people. The image of the Statue of Liberty with Emma Lazarus' famous poem. She lifts her lamp and welcomes people to the golden shore, where they will not experience prejudice because of the color of their skin, the religious faith that they follow.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg 126 quotes

My mother told me two things ...

My mother told me two things constantly. One was to be a lady and the other was to be independent, and the law was something most unusual for those times because for most girls growing up in the '40s, the most important degree was not your B.A. but your M.R.S.

I do a variety of weight-lifting, elliptical glider, stretching exercises, push-ups.

How fortunate I was to be alive and a lawyer when, for the first time in United States history, it became possible to urge, successfully, before legislatures and courts, the equal-citizenship stature of women and men as a fundamental constitutional principle.

Judges should avoid commenting on a candidate for public office.

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