The city seemed either frightening or risible to the rest of the nation Picture Quote #1

I was a chief justice. And before that, I was a district court judge, handled major felonies, including capital murder cases; and I handled major civil litigation Picture Quote #1

I find littering very annoying. It’s a minor but also a major thing: a society that litters is one that also has so little respect for the environment and, consequently, other people. If we had clean streets, a lot of other things would be fixed almost effortlessly Picture Quote #1

Even cooking at home, the difference between my wife cooking and me cooking is major. When my wife cooks, the kitchen looks like a disaster. When I cook it’s completely clean and organized and it doesn’t look like anyone has been cooking in there Picture Quote #1

So somebody told me that if I wasn’t a coffee drinker yet, by the end of college I’d have to be, because a math major is so tough I would have to stay up very late.

More than any other major sport, professional or amateur, college football games are decided by the physical incompetence and downright chokery of their players Picture Quote #1

I had higher math SATs than in English - yet I became an English major in college Picture Quote #1

I was always told that I was good in mathematics, and I guess my grades and standardized test scores supported that. My worst subjects were those that generally involved a lot of reading - English and history. So, having good test scores in math and mediocre ones in reading, I was naturally advised to major in engineering in college Picture Quote #1

I didn’t do improv in college, I never performed, I didn’t do theater either. I was in student government, I was a history major Picture Quote #1

Today, in 2011, if you go and buy a color laser printer from any major laser printer manufacturer and print a page, that page will end up having slight yellow dots printed on every single page in a pattern which makes the page unique to you and to your printer. This is happening to us today. And nobody seems to be making a fuss about it Picture Quote #1
