• "Until we get equality in education, we won't have an equal society.“
• "Whether born from experience or inherent physiological or cultural differences our gender and national origins may and will make a difference in our judging.“

• "I want to state upfront, unequivocally and without doubt: I do not believe that any racial, ethnic or gender group has an advantage in sound judging. I do believe that every person has an equal opportunity to be a good and wise judge, regardless of their background or life experiences.“
• "I strive never to forget the real world consequences of my decisions on individuals, businesses and government.“

• "I hope that as the Senate and American people learn more about me, they will see that I am an ordinary person who has been blessed with extraordinary opportunities and experiences.“

• "All of the legal defense funds out there, they're looking for people out there with court of appeals experience, because court of appeals is where policy is made. And I know, I know this is on tape and I should never say that because we don't make law, I know. I know.“
• "Until we get equality in education, we won't have an equal society.“
