Famous quotes containing the words straight and/or man:
“Your stature is modelled
with straight tool-edge:
you are chiselled like rocks
that are eaten into by the sea.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“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.”
—Harper Lee (b. 1926)
