Danh ngôn của Rick Perlstein
Look at liberty's greatest historic advances: ending slavery. Giving women the vote. Outlawing legal segregation. Each and every time, the people at the forefront of advancing those reforms - often putting their lives on the line - called themselves liberals.

Hãy nhìn vào những tiến bộ lịch sử vĩ đại nhất của tự do: chấm dứt chế độ nô lệ. Trao quyền bầu cử cho phụ nữ. Cấm sự phân biệt pháp lý. Lần nào cũng vậy, những người đi đầu trong việc thúc đẩy những cải cách đó - thường liều mạng - tự gọi mình là những người theo chủ nghĩa tự do.

Các câu danh ngôn khác của cùng tác giả: Rick Perlstein
- Computers have cut-and-paste functions. So does right-wing historical memory.
- Prediction is structurally inseparable from the business of punditry: It creates the essential image of indefatigable authority that is punditry's very architecture; it flows from that calcified image, and it provides the substance for the story that keeps getting told about the inevitability of American progress.
- Lyndon B. Johnson thought he'd have the boys home from Vietnam by Christmas - for four Christmases in a row (he never shifted course, and lost his presidency for it).
- Conservatives are time-biders. And they understand, as Corey Robin explains in his indispensable book 'The Reactionary Mind,' that the direction of human history is not on their side - that is why they are reactionaries - because, other things equal, civilization does tend towards more inclusion, more emancipation, more liberalism.
- Liberals tend to stress how marvelous education is, in and of itself, and also adore it as a vessel for genuine equality. (That's me, by the way: Hell, I think we should be spending $50 billion a year to make college education free).

- 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.
