Justice Scalia Sayings

#1. Ronald Reagan has a story for every occasion. Bill Clinton has an excuse for every occasion.

#2. Supreme Court Justice Anton Scalia should be commended for acknowledging that his views are so strong that - should the Pledge case reach the Supreme Court - he wouldn't be able to maintain the requisite impartiality.

Michael Newdow

#3. If I want a man I'll go to a cheap bar, like any other sane woman. I, for one, haven't hit rock bottom.

Eleanor Prescott

#4. The virtue of a democratic system with a [constitutionally guaranteed right to free speech] is that it readily enables the people, over time, to be persuaded that what they took for granted is not so, and to change their laws accordingly.

Antonin Scalia

#5. He [Louis Brandeis] would have not had any patience with that great debate which you're right to kind of signal between Justice Scalia and Justice Alito about do you need a physical trespass into the home or onto the carriage in order to trigger the values of the Fourth Amendment.

Jeffrey Rosen

#6. I think we've all been kind of ... everyone's been hurt, everyone's felt loss, everyone has exultation, everyone has a need to be loved, or to have lost love, so when you play a character, you're pulling out those little threads and turning them up a bit.

Mark Ruffalo

#7. I know that God our Father is in this work in great congregations ... and in the smallest branch and the smallest congregation.

Loren C. Dunn

#8. Just because I am increasingly bored by sabermetric arcana doesn't mean anyone else has to be; it remains good for people who like that sort of thing.

Nhat Hanh

#10. But every impulse becomes unbearable sooner or later.

Garth Risk Hallberg

#11. Reality, no matter how utopian, seems to be something people need to frequently take a holiday from.

Aldous Huxley

#12. If people ask me for the ingredients of success, I say one is talent, two is stubbornness or determination, and third is sheer luck. You have to have two out of the three. Any two will probably do.

Fred Saberhagen

#13. Justice Scalia is predictable. He can be counted on to come down with a conservative opinion, and generally, to bring Justice Clarence Thomas with him.

F. Lee Bailey

#14. I'm not a sandwich store that only sells turkey sandwiches. I sell a lot of different things.

Lady Gaga

#15. Never be ashamed to speak your mind. Sometimes the honesty of your own words is all you can count on.

#17. This Court has never held that the Constitution forbids the execution of a convicted defendant who has had a full and fair trial but is later able to convince a habeas court that he is 'actually' innocent.

Antonin Scalia

#18. It has been hard to get my head around how Justice Antonin Scalia rationalizes his decisions. His body blow to the Voting Rights Act was a head scratcher, but at least he was calm when he attempted to justify his odd logic.

Henry Rollins

#19. Print will never die. There's no substitute for the feel of an actual book. I adore physically turning the pages, and being able to underline passages and not worrying about dropping them in the bath or running out of power. I also find print books objects of beauty.

J.K. Rowling

#20. Hopefully I can go back and forth from the United States to Asia. I feel joint productions could be the way of the future. I'll need a private plane to charter the international waters!

Godfrey Gao
