“My success in law school was in large measure because of
baby Jane. I attended classes and studied diligently until four in the
afternoon; the next hours were Jane’s time, spent at the park, playing games or
singing songs, reading picture books, bathing and feeding her. After Jane’s
bedtime, I returned to the law books with renewed will. Each part of my life
provided respite from the other.”
“My mother’s advice was: ‘Don’t lose time on useless
emotions like anger, resentment, remorse, envy. Those will just sap time; they
don’t get you where you want to be.’”
“I coped with anger by playing the piano. I wasn’t very good
at it, but it distracted me. Later, I did the same with the cello. I would be
absorbed in the music, and useless emotion faded away.”
“Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a
way that will lead others to join you.” – Ruth Bader Ginsburg (1933-2020)
