Attorney Present

Famous quotes containing the words attorney and/or present:

“Even an attorney of moderate talent can postpone doomsday year after year, for the system of appeals that pervades American jurisprudence amounts to a legalistic wheel of fortune, a game of chance, somewhat fixed in the favor of the criminal, that the participants play interminably.”
—Truman Capote (1924–1984)

“Finally, in the last year of her age,
Having attained a present blessedness,
She said poetry and apotheosis are one.”
