Life Sentence

Famous quotes containing the words life and/or sentence:

“I never read a novel, they have so little real life and thought in them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Judge Ginsburg’s selection should be a model—chosen on merit and not ideology, despite some naysaying, with little advance publicity. Her treatment could begin to overturn a terrible precedent: that is, that the most terrifying sentence among the accomplished in America has become, “Honey—the White House is on the phone.””
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
