Quotes:
“The heart of liberty”
At the heart of liberty is the right to define one’s own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life.
1992 from the opinion “Planned Parenthood v. Casey US Supreme Court opinion”
“The Extent of Freedom in All of its Dimensions”
The nature of injustice is that we may not always see it in our own times. The generations that wrote and ratified the Bill of Rights and the Fourteenth Amendment did not presume to know the extent of freedom in all of its dimensions, and so they entrusted to future generations a charter protecting the right of all persons to enjoy liberty as we learn its meaning.
