As difficult an environment as the DA's Office could be, I saw no overarching conspiracy against women. The unequal treatment was usually more a matter of old habits dying hard Picture Quote #1

The habit of living as if in the shadow of death has remained with me, and I consider that, too, a gift Picture Quote #1

Sonia lives her life fully. If she dies tomorrow, she'll die happy. If she lives the way you want her to live, she'll die miserable. So leave her alone, okay? Picture Quote #1

You can't say: This much love is worth this much misery. They're not opposites that cancel each other out; they're both true at the same time Picture Quote #1

I was fifteen years old when I understood how it is that things break down: people can't imagine someone else's point of view Picture Quote #1

I felt like everyones second choice, which is why a compliment could catch me off guard Picture Quote #1

The Latino community anchored me, but I didn't want it to isolate me from the full extent of what Princeton had to offer, including engagement with the larger community Picture Quote #1

Dressing badly has been a refuge much of my life, a way of compelling others to engage with my mind, not my physical presence Picture Quote #1

You cannot value dreams according to the odds of their coming true. The real value is in stirring within us the will to aspire Picture Quote #1

The dynamism of any diverse community depends not only on the diversity itself but on promoting a sense of belonging among those who formerly would have been considered and felt themselves outsiders Picture Quote #1

As you discover what strength you can draw from your community in this world from which it stands apart, look outward as well as inward. Build bridges instead of walls Picture Quote #1

All of the legal defense funds out there, they're looking for people out there with court of appeals experience, because court of appeals is where policy is made. and I know, I know this is on tape and I should never say that because we don't make law, I know. I know Picture Quote #1

With my academic achievement in high school I was accepted rather readily at Princeton and equally as fast at Yale, but my test scores were not comparable to that of my classmates. and that's been shown by statistics, there are reasons for that - there are cultural biases built into testing, and that was one of the motivations for the concept of affirmative action to try to balance out those effects Picture Quote #1

I understand Justice Scalia's jurisprudence to begin with a proposition that we should all agree to - namely, that judges should try to interpret the law correctly, and without personal or political bias Picture Quote #1

I find the speech in this case patently offensive, hateful, and insulting. The Court should not, however, gloss over three decades of jurisprudence and the centrality of First Amendment freedoms in our lives because it is confronted with speech it does not like Picture Quote #1

I’ve spent my whole life learning how to do things that were hard for me Picture Quote #1

The best I could say about third grade was that it was a more or less continuous state of dread Picture Quote #1

You make your life choices understanding that you might and do have to work harder to prove yourself Picture Quote #1

I’ve never had my dexterity called into question, but I think if that was ever the case, I could acquit myself by tossing a ball back and forth horizontally between my hands Picture Quote #1
