Who said “Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.”?

“I cannot live without books.”

“No furniture so charming as books.”

“To read too many books is harmful.”

“Let blockheads read what blockheads wrote.”

“Never read any book that is not a year old.”

“The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience.”

“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view.”

“As you grow older, you'll see white men cheat black men every day of your life, but let me tell you something and don't you forget it -- whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family he comes from, that white man is trash.”

“Folks don't like to have somebody around knowing more than they do. It aggravates em. You're not gonna change any of them by talking right, they've got to want to learn themselves, and when they don't want to learn there's nothing you can do but keep your mouth shut or talk their language.”

“I'm no idealist to believe firmly in the integrity of our courts and in the jury system -- that is no ideal to me, it is a living, working reality. Gentlemen, a court is no better than each man of you sitting before me on this jury. A court is only as sound as its jury, and a jury is only as sound as the men who make it up.”

“Real courage is when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.”
