Sonia Sotomayor
“Sonia lives her life fully. If she dies tomorrow, she'll die happy. If she lives the way you want her to live, she'll die miserable. So leave her alone, okay?”
Sonia Sotomayor, My Beloved World“...you cannot value dreams according to the odds of their coming true. The real value is in stirring within us the will to aspire.”
Sonia Sotomayor, My Beloved World“Being a justice. If you love law the way I do... you're given the job of a lifetime... you're permitted to address the most important legal questions of the country, and sometimes the world. And in doing so, you make a difference in people's lives.”
Sonia Sotomayor“It is our responsibility to explain to the public how an often unpredictable system of justice is one that serves a productive, civilized, but always evolving, society.”
Sonia Sotomayor“We educated, privileged lawyers have a professional and moral duty to represent the underrepresented in our society, to ensure that justice exists for all, both legal and economic justice.”
Sonia Sotomayor“When everyone at school is speaking one language, and a lot of your classmates' parents also speak it, and you go home and see that your community is different -there is a sense of shame attached to that. It really takes growing up to treasure the specialness of being different.”
Sonia Sotomayor“I strive never to forget the real world consequences of my decisions on individuals, businesses and government.”
Sonia Sotomayor“I have had positive experiences with cameras. When I have been asked to join experiments using cameras in the courtroom, I have participated; I have volunteered.”
Sonia Sotomayor“If I write a book where all I've ever experienced is success, people won't take a positive lesson from it. In being candid, I have to own up to my own failures, both in my marriage and in my work environment.”
Sonia Sotomayor“I have never, ever focused on the negative of things. I always look at the positive.”
