15 RBG quotes

 I meant to compile this post earlier, but I don't think it's too late.

  1. “Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.”
  2. “I'm a very strong believer in listening and learning from others.”
  3. “Women belong in all places where decisions are being made. It shouldn't be that women are the exception.”
  4. “I would like to be remembered as someone who used whatever talent she had to do her work to the very best of her ability.”
  5. “So often in life, things that you regard as an impediment turn out to be great good fortune.”
  6. “I’m dejected, but only momentarily, when I can’t get the fifth vote for something I think is very important. But then you go on to the next challenge and you give it your all. You know that these important issues are not going to go away. They are going to come back again and again. There’ll be another time, another day.”
  7. “[J]ustices continue to think and can change. I am ever hopeful that if the court has a blind spot today, its eyes will be open tomorrow.”
  8. “We should not be held back from pursuing our full talents, from contributing what we could contribute to the society, because we fit into a certain mold ― because we belong to a group that historically has been the object of discrimination.”
  9. “If I had any talent in the world ... I would be a great diva.”
  10. “I ask no favor for my sex. All I ask of our brethren is that they take their feet off our necks.”
  11. “Reading is the key that opens doors to many good things in life. Reading shaped my dreams, and more reading helped me make my dreams come true.”
  12. “Yet what greater defeat could we suffer than to come to resemble the forces we oppose in their disrespect for human dignity?”
  13. “[T]he greatest menace to freedom is an inert people; that public discussion is a political duty; and that this should be a fundamental principle of the American government.”
  14. “We may be anxious to reduce crime, but we should remember that in our system of justice, the presumption of innocence is prime, and the law cannot apply one rule to Joe who is a good man, and another to John, who is a hardened criminal.”
  15. “So that's the dissenter's hope: that they are writing not for today but for tomorrow.”

I'm angry

I'm angry. And I don't (at the moment) want to be talked out of it. I struggle, often, with expressing or even just sitting with my emotions. I feel like even the photo I chose for this post was more reserved or toned down than how I feel.  But, this is my trying. I'm not going to time this post, just going to write until I feel done, whenever that may be. In this post, I'm going to focus on the anger I feel around my dad and my dad's death. Though, don't get me wrong, I'm also angry about a lot of things going on in my city, in my country, and in the world. My dad chose alcohol over me and my brother. There is no way around this fact. Yes, when I am less angry, I can be more reasonabl and recognize that addiction is a disesase and he didn't have control over it. But, right now, I want to be angry. I want to get to be angry. I want to get to feel my feelings. I don't want to rationalize, I don't want to be reasonable, I don't want to be fair....
