My judges preach against free love openly, practice it secretly.

Rude contact with facts chased my visions and dreams quickly away, and in their stead I beheld the horrors, the corruption, the evils and hypocrisy of society, and as I stood among them, a young wife, a great wail of agony went out from my soul.

I come before you to declare that my sex are entitled to the inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Is it fair to treat a woman worse than a man, and then revile her because she is a woman?

While others prayed for the good time coming, I worked for it.

It makes no difference who or what you are, old or young, black or white, pagan, Jew, or Christian, I want to love you all and be loved by you all, and I mean to have your love.

I do not shake hands from a sanitary standpoint.

Let women issue a declaration of independence sexually, and absolutely refuse to cohabit with men until they are acknowledged as equals in everything, and the victory would be won in a single week.

I endeavor to make the most of everything.

Woman, no less than man, can qualify herself for the more onerous occupations of life.

I now announce myself as candidate for the Presidency. I anticipate criticism; but however unfavorable I trust that my sincerity will not be called into question.

I shall not change my course because those who assume to be better than I desire it.

I am a free lover. I have an inalienable, constitutional and natural right to love whom I may, to love as long or short a period as I can; to change that love every day if I please.

I would like above any other place to go to Hartford. I want to face the conservatism there centered and compel it into decency.

Why is a woman to be treated differently? Woman suffrage will succeed, despite this miserable guerilla opposition.

Women have no government.

I and others of my sex find ourselves controlled by a form of government in the inauguration of which we had no voice.

I ask the rights to pursue happiness by having a voice in that government to which I am accountable.

The women of the country have the power in their own hands, in spite of the law and the government being altogether of the male order.

My judges preach against free love openly, practice it secretly.

If women would today would rise en masse and demand their emancipation, the men would be compelled to grant it.

My opinions and principles are subjects of just criticism. I put myself before the public voluntarily.

If Congress refuse to listen to and grant what women ask, there is but one course left then to pursue. What is there left for women to do but to become the mothers of the future government?

To go behind a man's hall-door is mean, cowardly, unfair opposition.

Suffrage is a common right of citizenship. Women have the right of suffrage. Logically it cannot be escaped.

Denounce me for advocating freedom if you can, and I will bear your curse with a better resignation.

When I found I had given birth to a human wreckage, to a child that was an imbecile, my heart was broken.

By what right do you refuse to accept the vote of a citizen of the United States?

For a woman to consider a financial question was shuddered over as a profanity.

Ideological warriors whether from the Left or the Right are bad news for the bench. They tend to make law, not interpret law. And that's not what any of us should want from our judges.

Absent scandal, a federal judge can serve for decades on the bench, underscoring the importance of appointing judges who have a proper understanding of their constitutional role.

Although the most acute judges of the witches and even the witches themselves, were convinced of the guilt of witchery, the guilt nevertheless was non-existent. It is thus with all guilt.

The Middle East is literally going up in flames, as is California, and Katrina's problems haven't been solved, and Congress' response is to criticize Federal judges.

The world at large does not judge us by who we are and what we know; it judges us by what we have.

Unfortunately, what many people forget is that judges are just lawyers in robes.

Now, I - for several years while I was researching this book, I felt quite obsessed by thoughts about sentencing, punishment, how judges arrive at their decisions.

Marriage has been defined by every legislature that has ever sat in the United States from every State, now 50 States, the same way, but now we have unelected judges altering and changing that fundamental institution.

It is necessary to keep one's compass in one's eyes and not in the hand, for the hands execute, but the eye judges.

If we believe in our current penal process, then the penalties imposed by judges and juries should be the only sanctions for one's crime, not the invisible sanctions of the legislature.

I love judges, and I love courts. They are my ideals, that typify on earth what we shall meet hereafter in heaven under a just God.

The Violence Against Women Act is so important. It provides money to train the cop on the beat, to train the judges that this is a new day, that we won't tolerate this violence and to know how to deal with it.

The politics of judges is getting to be red hot.

I also read modern novels - I have just had to read 60 as I am one of the judges for the Orange Fiction Prize.

A key to the mentality of the left is that it judges itself by its best intentions, and judges its opponents - America chief among them - by their worst deeds.

Half of figure skating is opinion, convincing judges.

Our nation is being led astray by ungodly judges, mayors and governors, who are given to change, defying the Constitution and substituting their own wicked agendas.

Now that judges embrace forcibly starving someone to death, Congress should use its appropriation power to starve the judicial budget.

I wouldn't approach the issue of judging in the way the president does. Judges can't rely on what's in their heart. They don't determine the law. Congress makes the law. The job of a judge is to apply the law.

We need somebody who's got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it's like to be a young teenage mom, the empathy to understand what it's like to be poor or African-American or gay or disabled or old - and that's the criterion by which I'll be selecting my judges.
