A Gorean slave girl in the presence of a free man or woman always kneels, unless excused from doing so.

The man who respects a woman does not know what else to do with her.

We ought to disarm Germany completely.

The reason given by the President in asking Congress to declare war against Germany is that the German government has declared certain war zones, within which, by the use of submarines, she sinks, without notice, American ships and destroys American lives.

The development of a political-economic framework to explore long-run institutional change occupied me during all of the 1980s and led to the publication of Institutions, Institutional Change and Economic Performance in 1990.

The abortion cases produced an enormous amount of mail to my chambers, vastly more than to the other chambers, I am sure. I sometimes thought there wasn't a woman in the United States who didn't write me a letter on one side or the other of that issue.

I want three words: Woman, Atheist, Anarchist. That's me.
