Quotes

  • [on his part in Canada's Supreme Court decision striking down the abortion law] The fact I could have been a spot of dust fifty years ago but I survived made me understand I could never give up - that I had a responsibility to my fellow beings to accomplish something important.
  • If I have to die tomorrow by an assassin's bullet, well at least I've achieved something in my life.
