The freedom of birds is an insult to me. I'd have them all in zoos. —The judge.
Cormac McCarthy
» Cormac McCarthy - all quotes »
The Judge, whose core issue is our sense of worth and value, splits us into Judge and Subject to be Judged. When possessed by the Judge, we live in a world of comparisons, competition, and punishment, constantly rate ourselves and others, feel jealousy and guilt. The Judge seduces us with the false promise that we can gain value if we obey, perform, produce.
Starhawk
When we went to school we were told that we were governed by laws, not men. As a result of that, many people think there is no need to pay any attention to judicial candidates because judges merely apply the law by some mathematical formula and a good judge and a bad judge all apply the same kind of law. The fact is that the most important part of a judge's work is the exercise of judgment and that the law in a court is never better than the common sense judgment of the judge that is presiding.
Robert H. Jackson

Swami Vivekananda
The most bitter insult one can offer to a Londoner is "bastard" — which, taken for what it means, is hardly an insult at all.
George Orwell
The chimpanzees in the zoos do it,
Some courageous kangaroos do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love.Cole Porter
