• What does it really mean to be a leftist in the early part of the 21st century? What are we really talking about? And I can just be very candid with you. It means to have a certain kind of temperament, to make certain kinds of political and ethical choices, and to exercise certain analytical focuses in targeting on the catastrophic and the monstrous, the scandalous, the traumatic, that are often hidden and concealed in the deodorized and manicured discourses of the mainstream. That's what it means to be a leftist. So let's just be clear about it.

  Cornel West

  Mean, Exercise, Talking

• Confesemos una verdad, humillante para el orgullo humano: sólo una pequeñísima parte de las opiniones del filósofo más frío son el resultado de un razonamiento justo; el resto se forma por su educación, su temperamento, por la época en que vive, por trenes de pensamiento dirigidos a una pista particular a través de alguna asociación accidental; en resumen, por prejuicios.

And I don't think rural people can't be cosmopolitan, in my sense.

• When you are the woman upstairs, nobody thinks of you first. Nobody calls you before anyone else, or sends you the first postcard.

• What becomes decisive to a Justice's functioning on the Court in the large area within which his individuality moves is his general attitude toward law, the habits of the mind that he has formed or is capable of unforming, his capacity for detachment, his temperament or training for putting his passion behind his judgment instead of in front of it. The attitudes and qualities which I am groping to characterize are ingredients of what compendiously might be called dominating humility.
