Trey Parker

Love, Time, Great

I remember in 'Law of Desire,' where I played a homosexual, that people were more upset that I kissed a man on the mouth than I killed a man. It's interesting to see how people can pardon you for murdering a man, but they can't pardon you for kissing one.
Antonio Banderas

Remember, Desire, Played

Law is born from despair of human nature.
Jose Ortega y Gasset

Nature, Human, Born

No Child Left Behind's fourth-grade gains aren't learning gains, they're testing gains. That's why they don't last. The law is a distraction from things that really count.
Jonathan Kozol

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

A chair's function is not just to provide a place to sit; it is to provide a medium for self-expression. Chairs are about status, for example. Or signalling something about oneself.

Evan Davis

Words, Why, Place
