But she could be made from air, from the ether that binds the stars in a patchwork. ~ Pierce Brown
Darrow quotes by Pierce Brown
Ancestors do not mean so much. The rebel who succeeds generally makes it easier for the posterity that follows him; so these descendants are usually contented and smug and soft. Rebels are made from life, not ancestors. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
I love the challenge of show business. It keeps me on my toes. ~ Henry Darrow
Darrow quotes by Henry Darrow
In my experience, if you are a competent and informed early retiree who enjoys helping others, you will never want for ways to produce income, if necessary. The ~ Darrow Kirkpatrick
Darrow quotes by Darrow Kirkpatrick
Religion is based on the insistence that over and above all is a purpose and a guiding hand that is beneficent and kind, and would not leave a hair unnumbered or let a sparrow fall unnoticed to the ground. Those who cherish such hallucinations forget that the all-loving power is inflicting tuberculosis, cancer, famine, and pestilence on the trusting, simple sons of men. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
Lord Darrow," she said, inclining her head. She couldn't help the crooked grin. "You look toasty." Darrow's plain face remained unmoved. Unimpressed. Well, then. Aelin watched Darrow, waiting - refusing to break his stare until he bowed. A dip of his head was all he offered. "A bit lower," she purred. Aedion's ~ Sarah J. Maas
Darrow quotes by Sarah J. Maas
The criminals who, in the face of contumely, hatred or violence, have led the world to a higher standard and brought humanity to a diviner order, have so loved truth and righteousness as to defy the law, and in every age these men have met the life of outcasts, and the death of felons. Whatever may be said of the necessity of government to protect itself, no one can believe that any human being merits punishment for following his own highest ideal. Punishment can only be in any wise defended upon the theory that the individual is untrue to himself, that his heart is bad. But all schemes of human punishment seem specially contrived to exempt this class of men. Those who are untrue to themselves find no difficulty in obeying the state, or at least in seeming to be subservient to its laws. The cunning man without strong convictions of right and wrong can always find ample room to operate his trade inside the dead line the law lays down. Even Blackstone wrote that a man who governed his conduct solely by the law was neither an honest man nor a good citizen. The penal code cannot pretend to cover all the vicious acts of men. If there is a distinction between vicious acts and righteous acts, each are so numerous that even to catalogue them would be beyond the power of the state. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
'I killed their pack leader,' Sevro says when I ask why the wolves follow him. He looks me up and down and flashes me an impish grin from beneath the wolf pelt. 'Don't worry, I wouldn't fit in your skin.' ~ Pierce Brown
Darrow quotes by Pierce Brown
The lowest standards of ethics of which a right-thinking man can possibly conceive is taught to the common soldier whose trade is to shoot his fellow men. In youth he may have learned the command, 'Thou shalt not kill,' but the ruler takes the boy just as he enters manhood and teaches him that his highest duty is to shoot a bullet through his neighbor's heart - and this, unmoved by passion or feeling or hatred, and without the least regard to right or wrong, but simply because his ruler gives the word. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
A jury is more apt to be unbiased and independent than a court, but they very seldom stand up against strong public clamor. Judges naturally believe the defendant is guilty. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
Were these boys in their right minds? Here were two boys with good intellect, one eighteen and one nineteen. They had all the prospects that life could hold out for any of the young; one a graduate of Chicago and another of Ann Arbor; one who had passed his examination for the Harvard Law School and was about to take a trip in Europe,--another who had passed at Ann Arbor, the youngest in his class, with three thousand dollars in the bank. Boys who never knew what it was to want a dollar; boys who could reach any position that was to boys of that kind to reach; boys of distinguished and honorable families, families of wealth and position, with all the world before them. And they gave it all up for nothing, for nothing! They took a little companion of one of them, on a crowded street, and killed him, for nothing, and sacrificed everything that could be of value in human life upon the crazy scheme of a couple of immature lads.

Now, your Honor, you have been a boy; I have been a boy. And we have known other boys. The best way to understand somebody else is to put yourself in his place.

Is it within the realm of your imagination that a boy who was right, with all the prospects of life before him, who could choose what he wanted, without the slightest reason in the world would lure a young companion to his death, and take his place in the shadow of the gallows?

...No one who has the process of reasoning could doubt that a boy who would do that is no ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
The purpose of life is to live it. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
Something had broken inside her. No past or future, no sense of time, each day as endless as it was to a child. Linh had been right about her being a tourist of the war in the beginning, but with that detachment there had also been a kind of strength. As Darrow had said, there was a price to mastery. Now she was in limbo, neither an observer of the country, nor a part of it. For the first time since she was a child, she considered praying, but it seemed small and cowardly this late in the game. ~ Tatjana Soli
Darrow quotes by Tatjana Soli
I have suffered from being misunderstood, but I would have suffered a hell of a lot more if I had been understood. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
Henry Lloyd was with Darrow when they toured the mine. It was a dreadful experience, Lloyd said, "like a foretaste of the inferno."

"You might as well get used to it," Darrow told him. Heaven was reserved for Wall Street financiers. Infidels like themselves would be rooming with Satan. ~ John A. Farrell
Darrow quotes by John A. Farrell
I am an Agnostic because I am not afraid to think. I am not afraid of any god in the universe who would send me or any other man or woman to hell. If there were such a being, he would not be a god; he would be a devil. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
We came," Manon said, loud enough that all on the city walls could hear, "to honor a promise made to Aelin Galathynius. To fight for what she promised us."
Darrow said quietly, "And what was that?"
Manon smiled then. "A better world. ~ Sarah J. Maas
Darrow quotes by Sarah J. Maas
So much for keeping things business when it came to Jenna Darrow. If this had been a test, he figured he'd just failed it with flying colors. ~ Lara Adrian
Darrow quotes by Lara Adrian
The audience that storms the box-office of the theater to gain entrance to a sensational show is small and sleepy compared with the throng that crashes the courthouse door when something concerning real life and death is to be laid bare to the public. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
Even if you do learn to speak correct English, whom are you going to speak it to? ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
This is a trap I cannot ride away from. I guess there are those times in life. It's like staring at the ground as you fall from a height. Seeing the end coming doesn't mean you can dodge it, fix it, stop it. ~ Pierce Brown
Darrow quotes by Pierce Brown
Everything serious that he says is a joke and everything humorous that he says is dead serious. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
Tell me, Darrow. Would it be worse to have Titus in power and have Mars strong or for Darrow to be in power with Mars weak?"
"Better for whom?" I ask petulantly. ~ Pierce Brown
Darrow quotes by Pierce Brown
He's psychologically damaged, I suppose, if you stand back and look objectively at him, but then, who isn't? ~ Paul Darrow
Darrow quotes by Paul Darrow
I stand over them and cock my head. 'Is this the first time you've lost at something?' No answer. I frown. 'Well, that must be embarrassing.' ~ Pierce Brown
Darrow quotes by Pierce Brown
It is not for the world to judge, but to crown them all alike. Each and all lived out their own being, did their work in their own way, and carried a reluctant, stupid humanity to greater
possibilities and grander heights. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
Let me tell you the truth: You are enough. You are more than enough. God made you, and God does not make junk. "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb." (Ps. 139:13) You are not just a body; you are a body and a soul. You have an inmost being that does not come from your parents, from the physical DNA that they gave you, but from God Almighty who breathed life specially and intentionally into your very self. Not only did God create you, He continues to care for you and watch over you. "Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid." (Luke 12:7) ~ Leah Darrow
Darrow quotes by Leah Darrow
Criminal cases receive the attention of the press. The cruel and disagreeable things of life are more apt to get the newspaper space than the pleasant ones. It must be that most people enjoy hearing of and reading about the troubles of others. Perhaps men unconsciously feel that they rise in the general level as others go down. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
To think is to differ. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
If you lose the power to laugh, you lose the power to think. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
Every thought of pity is like the balm of Gilead to our souls. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
Instead of yielding to idle conversation it might profit one to cultivate silence and contemplation. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
Every instinct that is found in any man is in all men. The strength of the emotion may not be so overpowering, the barriers against possession not so insurmountable, the urge to accomplish the desire less keen. With some, inhibitions and urges may be neutralized by other tendencies. But with every being the primal emotions are there. All men have an emotion to kill; when they strongly dislike some one they involuntarily wish he was dead. I have never killed any one, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
Also, from a technical point of view, as you're standing in front of a microphone all day, it's quite a good idea that I should play a laid back sort of character because if he was too frenetic, I'd be exhausted by lunch! ~ Paul Darrow
Darrow quotes by Paul Darrow
I cannot tell and I shall never know how many words of mine might have given birth to cruelty in place of love and kindness and charity. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
No other offense has ever been visited with such severe penalties as seeking to help the oppressed. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
Our lives mean so much more than the frail bodies that carry them. ~ Pierce Brown
Darrow quotes by Pierce Brown
The truth is that brains have little to do with either the making or accumulating of money. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
There are a lot of myths which make the human race cruel and barbarous and unkind. Good and Evil, Sin and Crime, Free Will and the like delusions made to excuse God for damning men and to excuse men for crucifying each other. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
Where do you think you're going?" Darrow demanded. [...] She looked over her shoulder. "To call in old debts and promises. To raise an army of assassins and thieves and exiles and commoners. To finish what was started long, long ago ~ Sarah J. Maas
Darrow quotes by Sarah J. Maas
This is Darrow, Inadequately scrawled, with his young, old heart, And his drawl, and his infinite paradox And his sadness, and kindness, And his artist sense that drives him to shape his life To something harmonious, even against the schemes of God. ~ Edgar Lee Masters
Darrow quotes by Edgar Lee Masters
Laws should be like clothes. They should be made to fit the people they serve. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
My name is Darrow, leader of House Mars. I'm here to meet with your Primus, if you have one. If you don't, your leader will suffice. And if you don't have one of those either, take me to whoever has the biggest balls.
Silence. ~ Pierce Brown
Darrow quotes by Pierce Brown
History repeats itself. That's one of the things wrong with history. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
Sympathy is the child of imagination ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach it in the public school, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools, and the next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers. Soon you may set Catholic against Protestant and Protestant against Protestant, and try to foist your own religion upon the minds of men. If you can do one you can do the other. Ignorance and fanaticism is ever busy and needs feeding. Always it is feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers, tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lectures, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After while, your honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth century when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
Lysandra... Lady of Caraverre."
"There is no Caraverre," Darrow said.
Aelin shrugged. "There is now." Lysandra had settled on the name a week ago, whatever it meant, bolting upright in the middle of the night and practically shouting it at Aelin once she'd mastered herself long enough to shift back into her human form. Aelin doubted she'd soon forget the image of a wide-eyed ghost leopard trying to speak. ~ Sarah J. Maas
Darrow quotes by Sarah J. Maas
But why show a devil you know his strength. It just makes me a threat to him. ~ Pierce Brown
Darrow quotes by Pierce Brown
The law does not pretend to punish everything that is dishonest. That would seriously interfere with business. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
You can only protect your liberties in this world by protecting the other man's freedom. You can only be free if I am free. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
All my people sing of are memories. And so I will remember this death. It will burden me as it does not burden my fellow students
I must not let that change. I must not become like them. I'll remember that every sin, every death, every sacrifice, is for freedom. ~ Pierce Brown
Darrow quotes by Pierce Brown
Vengeance is an empty thing, Darrow. ~ Pierce Brown
Darrow quotes by Pierce Brown
Common experience shows how much rarer is moral courage than physical bravery. A thousand men will march to the mouth of the cannon where one man will dare espouse an unpopular cause ... True courage and manhood come from the consciousness of the right attitude toward the world, the faith in one's purpose, and the sufficiency of one's own approval as a justification for one's own acts. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
The trouble with law is lawyers. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
No nation can be really great that is held together by Gatling guns, and no true loyalty can be induced and kept through fear. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
In the great flood of human life that is spawned upon the earth, it is not often that a man is born. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
To be a woman is to be more than our parts.
It is to be more than the length of our lashes or the plumpness and color of our lips. ~ Leah Darrow
Darrow quotes by Leah Darrow
Pliny is a leech," I say. "A liar as much as you're an honest man."
"And that makes him dangerous. Liars make the best promises. ~ Pierce Brown
Darrow quotes by Pierce Brown
Nothing is so loved by tyrants as obedient subjects.
~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
My heart can't stay here in this cage she herself fled. It must move on. ~ Pierce Brown
Darrow quotes by Pierce Brown
As long as the world shall last there will be wrongs, and if no man objected and if no man rebelled, those wrongs would last forever. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
My constitution was destroyed long ago; now I am living under the bylaws. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
It is indeed strange that with all the knowledge we have gained in the past hundred years we preserve and practice the methods of an ancient and barbarous world in our dealing with crime. So long as this is observed and exercised there can be no change except to heap more cruelties and more wretchedness upon those who are the victims of our foolish system. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
Money has been the most serious handicap that we have ever met. There are times when poverty is fortunate ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
This book comes from the reflections and experience of more than forty years spent in court. Aside from the practice of my profession, the topics I have treated are such as have always held my interest and inspired a taste for books that discuss the human machine with its manifestations and the causes of its varied activity. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
The purpose of man is like the purpose of a pollywog - to wiggle along as far as he can without dying; or, to hang to life until death takes him. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
I am always suspicious of righteous indignation. Nothing is more cruel than righteous indignation. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
Are you serious?" he asks in confusion as though I misunderstand something as basic as gravity. "Boy, allegiances crumble as soon as we board that shuttle. Some of your friends will be spirited away to the Moon Lords. Others will go to the Governors of the Gas Giants. Even a few to Luna. They will remember you as a legend of their youth, but that is it. And that legend will brook no loyalty. I've stood where you stand. I won my year, but loyalty isn't found in these halls. It is the way things are."

"It is the way things were," I say harshly, suprising him. But I believe what I say. "I am something different. I freed the enslaved and let the broken mend themselves. I gave them something you older generations can't understand."

He chuckles, irritating me. "That is the problem with youth, Darrow. You forget that every generation has thought the same."

"But for my generation it is true." No matter his confidence, I am right. He is wrong. I am the spark that will set the worlds afire. I am the hammer that cracks the chains. ~ Pierce Brown
Darrow quotes by Pierce Brown
The efforts of the medical profession in the US to control: ... its ... job it proposes to monopolize. It has been carrying on a vigorous campaign all over the country against new methods and schools of healing because it wants the business ... I have watched this medical profession for a long time and it bears watching. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
Nature knows nothing about right and wrong, good and evil, pleasure and pain; she simply acts. She creates a beautiful woman, and places a cancer on her cheek. She may create an idealist, and kill him with a germ. She creates a fine mind, and then burdens it with a deformed body. And she will create a fine body, apparently for no use whatever. She may destroy the most wonderful life when its work has just commenced. She may scatter tubercular germs broadcast throughout the world. She seemingly works with no method, plan or purpose. She knows no mercy nor goodness. Nothing is so cruel and abandoned as Nature. To call her tender or charitable is a travesty upon words and a stultification of intellect. No one can suggest these obvious facts without being told that he is not competent to judge Nature and the God behind Nature. If we must not judge God as evil, then we cannot judge God as good. In all the other affairs of life, man never hesitates to classify and judge, but when it comes to passing on life, and the responsibility of life, he is told that it must be good, although the opinion beggars reason and intelligence and is a denial of both. Emotionally, I shall no doubt act as others do to the last moment of my existence. With my last breath I shall probably try to draw another, but, intellectually, I am satisfied that life is a serious burden, which no thinking, humane person would wantonly inflict on some one else. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
I knew that it is out of the question to have honest, economical government while a few are inordinately rich and the great mass of men are poor. In fact, it is to be doubted if anything really worthwhile can be done until there is a fairer distribution of wealth. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
To say that the universe was here last year, or millions of years ago, does not explain its origin. This is still a mystery. As to the question of the origin of things, man can only wonder
and doubt and guess. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
'Found the sheep too easy to kill?' I ask. 'Where'd you get the weapon?'
'Born with them.' His fingernails are bloody. ~ Pierce Brown
Darrow quotes by Pierce Brown
Inside every lawyer is the wreck of a poet. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
I ask him if he tried to rape Nyla.

"Laws are silent in times of war," Tactus drawls.

"Don't quote Cicero to me," I say. "You are held to a higher standard than a marauding centurion."

"In that, you're hitting the mark at least. I am a superior creature descended from proud stock and glorious heritage. Might makes right, Darrow. If I can take, I may take. If I do take, I deserve to have. This is what Peerless believe."

"The measure of a man is what he does when he has power," I say loudly.

"Just come off it, Reaper," Tactus drawls, confident in himself as all like him are. "She's a spoil of war. My power took her. And before the strong, bend the weak."

"I'm stronger than you, Tactus," I say. "So I can do with you as I wish. No?"

He's silent, realizing he's fallen into a trap.

"You are from a superior family to mine, Tactus. My parents are dead. I am the sole member of my family. But I am a superior creature to you."

He smirks at that.

"Do you disagree?" I toss a knife at his feet and pull my own out. "I beg you to voice your concerns." He does not pick his blade up. "So, by right of power, I can do with you as I like."

I announce that rape will never be permitted, and then I ask Nyla the punishment she would give. As she told me before, she says she wants no punishment. I make sure they know this, so there are no recriminations against her. Tactus and his a ~ Pierce Brown
Darrow quotes by Pierce Brown
The nation that would to-day disarm its soldiers and turn its people to the paths of peace would accomplish more to its building up than by all the war taxes wrong from its hostile and
unwilling serfs ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
One believes in the truthfulness of a man because of his long experience with the man, and because the man has always told a consistent story. But no man has told so consistent a story as nature. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
It's not bad people I fear so much as good people. When a person is sure that he is good, he is nearly hopeless; he gets cruel- he believes in punishment. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
I've wanted to be an actor ever since I was a little boy. ~ Henry Darrow
Darrow quotes by Henry Darrow
Calvin Coolidge was the greatest man who ever came out of Plymouth Corner, Vermont. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
Sevro." I lean forward. "Your eyes ... "
He leans in close. "Do you like 'em?"
"Bloodydamn. Did you get Carved?"
"By the best in the business. Do you like 'em?"
"They're bloodydamn marvelous. Fit you like a glove."
He punches his hands together. "Glad you said that. Cuz they're yours."
I blanch. "What?"
"They're yours."
"My what?"
"Your eyes!"
"My eyes ... "
"Do you want the eyes back?" Sevro asks, suddenly worried. "I can give them back."
"No!" I say. "It's just I forgot how crazy you are."
"Oh." He laughs and slaps my shoulder. "Good. I thought it might be something serious. So I'm prime keeping them?"
"Finders keepers," I say with a shrug. ~ Pierce Brown
Darrow quotes by Pierce Brown
Clarence Darrow, one of history's greatest lawyers, once noted "There is no such thing as justice, in or out of court." Perhaps because justice is a flawed concept that ultimately comes down to the decision of twelve people. People with their own experiences, prejudices, feelings about what defines right and wrong. Which is why, when the system fails us, we must go out and seek our own justice. ~ Emily Thorne
Darrow quotes by Emily Thorne
The difference between the child and the man lies chiefly in the unlimited confidence and buoyancy of youth. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
Each child should be more intelligent than his parents. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
Probably the undertaker thinks less of death than almost any other man. He is so accustomed to it that his mind must involuntarily turn from its horror to a contemplation of how much he makes out of the burial. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
I had grown tired of standing in the lean and lonely front line facing the greatest enemy that ever confronted man
public opinion. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
We grew together, and now are grown. In her eyes, I see my heart. In her breath, I hear my soul. She is my land. She is my kin. My love. ~ Pierce Brown
Darrow quotes by Pierce Brown
The error I found in the philosophy of Henry George was its cocksureness, its simplicity, and the small value that it placed upon the selfish motives of men. The doctrine was a hang-over from the seventeenth century in France, when the philosophers had given up the idea of God, but still thought that there must be some immovable basis for man's conduct and ideals. In this dilemma they evolved the theory of natural rights. If 'natural rights' means anything it means that the individual rights are to be determined by the conduct of Nature. But Nature knows nothing about rights in the sense of human conception. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
I am an agnostic; I do not pretend to know what many ignorant men are sure of. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
The only real lawyers are trial lawyers, and trial lawyers try cases to juries. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
There is no such thing as justice - in or out of court. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
Every one knows that the heavenly bodies move in certain paths in relation to each other with seeming consistency and regularity which we call [physical] law ... No one attributes freewill or motive to the material world. Is the conduct of man or the other animals any more subject to whim or choice than the action of the planets? ... We know that man's every act is induced by motives that led or urged him here or there; that the sequence of cause and effect runs through the whole universe, and is nowhere more compelling than with man. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
Darrow: "Does he really believe believe in magic?" I ask.
Daxo Au Telemanus: "He says gnomes steals ear wax from him at night. Mother thinks he's been hit too many times in the head." Daxo backs away following his father. But he can't hide the his clever smile as he pops a jellybean into his mouth. And I see where the ones in my pocket came from. "I say he just lives in a more entertaining world than we do. ~ Pierce Brown
Darrow quotes by Pierce Brown
Every government on earth is the personification of violence and force, and yet the doctine of non-resistance is as old as human thought - even more than this, the instinct is as old as life upon the earth. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
Justice has nothing to do with what goes on in a courtroom; Justice is what comes out of a courtroom. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
Clarence Darrow, America's best-known trial lawyer, was also one of American history's most skilled orators. ~ Jill Lepore
Darrow quotes by Jill Lepore
The really intelligent are as abnormal as the defective. The great masses of men are rather mediocre, and those above and below are exceptions. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
Just think of the tragedy of teaching children not to doubt. ~ Clarence Darrow
Darrow quotes by Clarence Darrow
What do you live for?" I ask her suddenly. "Is it for me? Is it for family and love? Or is it for some dream?" "It's not just some dream, Darrow. I live for the dream that my children will be born free. That they will be what they like. That they will own the land their father gave them." "I live for you," I say sadly. She kisses my cheek. "Then you must live for more." There ~ Pierce Brown
