Justice Stevens

Famous quotes containing the words justice and/or stevens:

    Her wrongs are ... indissolubly linked with all undefended woe, all helpless suffering, and the plenitude of her “rights” will mean the final triumph of all right over might, the supremacy of the moral forces of reason and justice and love in the government of the nation. God hasten the day.
    Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)

    You could almost see the brass on her gleaming,
    Not quite. The mist was to light what red
    Is to fire. And her mainmast tapered to nothing,
    Without teetering a millimeter’s measure.
    The beads on her rails seemed to grasp at transparence.
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
