Danh ngôn của Walter Kirn
In America, to be ID'd - sorted, tagged, and permanently filed - is to lose a bit of one's soul. To die a little. This sounds like a subtle, poetic notion. It's not. In American legal and cultural tradition, one essential privilege of citizenship is not having to prove it on demand.

Ở Mỹ, bị ID - sắp xếp, gắn thẻ và lưu trữ vĩnh viễn - là đánh mất một chút tâm hồn. Chết đi một chút. Điều này nghe có vẻ như một khái niệm tinh tế và đầy chất thơ. Nó không thể. Trong truyền thống văn hóa và pháp lý của Mỹ, một đặc quyền thiết yếu của quyền công dân là không cần phải chứng minh điều đó theo yêu cầu.

Các câu danh ngôn khác của cùng tác giả: Walter Kirn
- I think people get a sense of possibility when they're on a plane, even romantic possibility, wondering if the perfect person is going to sit down next to them or something.
- Cross the wrong state border with your gun, or wake up one morning to new legislation or a new presidential executive order, and suddenly you're the bad guy, not the good guy. No wonder some gun owners seem so touchy; they feel, at some level, like criminals in waiting.
- A true nature is a gloomy monolith, sort of like that old black rotary phone that I had to sing 'Happy Birthday' to Grandpa on. But novelists, damn us, still need true natures - so we can give them to our protagonists. And so readers can vaguely predict how they'll behave when we trap them in 'situations' that they can't IM their way out of.

- Lawyers are the first refuge of the incompetent.
- With the death of bin Laden, it's finally time for Congress to bring back the pre-9-11 legal norm, before we decided it was okay to toss out our civil liberties if the 'bad guys' were scary enough.
- I didn't grow up believing that abortion was a good choice for women, but since it was legal, I thought it must be okay.
- The legal right of the Southern people to reclaim their fugitives I have constantly admitted. The legal right of Congress to interfere with their institution in the states, I have constantly denied.
- Mississippi's loose campaign finance laws allow lawyers and companies to contribute heavily to the judges they appear before. That is terrible for justice, since the courts are teeming with perfectly legal conflicts of interest.
