Maulana Abul Kalam Azad

Dissents speak to a future age. 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, and

gradually, over time, their views become the dominant

view. So that’s the dissenter[’s] hope: That they are

writing not for today, but for tomorrow.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg, justice of the Supreme Court of the United States,

My definition of man is a cooking animal. The beasts

have memory, judgement and the faculties and passions of our

minds in a certain degree; but no beast is a cook ...

Man alone can dress a good dish; and every man

is more or less a cook, in seasoning

what he himself eats.

James Boswell, Scottish biographer, diarist and lawyer

Come, today let us pledge that this country is ours, we

belong to it and any fundamental decision about its

destiny will remain incomplete without our consent.

Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, Indian freedom fighter

Ruth Bader Ginsburg
