• Recuerdo un caso cuando era fiscal general adjunto en el que 720 personas muertas votaron en Chicago en las elecciones de 1982. Recuerdo que en mis propias elecciones votaron unos 60 muertos. Así que no puedo sentarme aquí y decirte que no hacen trampa.

• Cuando matan a gente de color en el centro de la ciudad, cuando matan a personas sin hogar, cuando matan a los "don nadie", los fiscales de distrito no buscan vengar sus muertes. Las familias negras, hispanas o pobres que tienen un ser querido asesinado no sólo no esperan que la oficina del fiscal del distrito persiga la pena de muerte -lo que, por supuesto, es costoso y lleva mucho tiempo-, sino que se sorprenden cuando se procesa el caso.

• Cowgirl es un espíritu, un tipo especial de coraje. La vaquera se enfrenta a la vida de frente, vive bajo sus propias luces y no pone excusas. Las vaqueras adoptan posturas. Hablan claro. Defienden sus valores. Una vaquera puede ser ganadera, corredora de barriles, amazona o actriz. Pero también puede ser cajera en el Winn Dixie local, madre a tiempo completo, banquera, abogada o astronauta.

• I keep thinking of the gifts of my own upbringing, which I once took for granted: I can read any book I choose and comprehend it. I can write a complete sentence and punctuate it correctly. If I need help, I can call on judges, attorneys, educators, ministers. I wonder what I would be like if I had grown up without such protections and supports. What cracks would have turned up in my character?

• A problem with school is that you often become what you study. If you study, let say cooking, you become a chef. If you study law, you become an attorney, and a study of auto mechanics makes you mechanics. The mistake in becoming what you study is that, too many people forget to mind their own business. They spend their lives minding someone else's business and making that person rich

• A lot of people are now criticizing Attorney General John Ashcroft for his policy on detaining what he considers suspicious people. I think he's going a little overboard. Today, he arrested the entire band Foreigner.

• Esto significa que si una persona cumple su vocación como fabricante de acero, abogado o ama de casa coram Deo, entonces esa persona está actuando tan religiosamente como un evangelista ganador de almas que cumple su vocación. Significa que David era tan religioso cuando obedeció la llamada de Dios a ser pastor como cuando fue ungido con la gracia especial de la realeza. Significa que Jesús era tan religioso cuando trabajaba en la carpintería de su padre como en el huerto de Getsemaní.

• As an attorney, I assure you the law isn't a line engraved in marble, immovable and unchangeable through the centuries. Rather the law is like a string, fixed at both ends but with a great deal of play in it very loose, the line of the law so you can stretch it this way or that, rearrange the arc of it so you are nearly always short of blatant theft or cold-blooded murder safely on the right side. That's a daunting thing to realize but true.

• Enseñamos a los niños a ser hombres como nosotros. No les enseñamos a aspirar a ser todo lo que puedan. No les damos una formación como si creyeran en su noble naturaleza. Educamos escasamente sus cuerpos. No entrenamos el ojo y la mano. Ejercitamos sus entendimientos para la aprehensión y comparación de algunos hechos, para una habilidad en los números, en las palabras; nuestro objetivo es hacer contadores, abogados, ingenieros; pero no hacer hombres capaces, sinceros, de gran corazón.

• I was appointed U.S. attorney by President [George] Bush on September 10th, 2001, and the world changed enormously the next day, and that happened in my state.I will make no apologies, ever, for protecting the lives and the safety of the American people. We have to give more tools to our folks to be able to do that, not fewer, and then trust those people and oversee them to do it the right way.
