“There have been times throughout American history where what is right is not the same as what is legal. Sometimes to do the right thing you have to break the law.”

“And if you look at the things that are denied to the states in the Constitution, for example, they are denied the right to coin money. Now, throughout history, the right to coin money has been a symbol of sovereignty. If states do not have the right to coin money, they are not sovereign in the sense that would justify secession as a state right.”

“It's not my liking for guns, what about the NRA? We all have the rights to bear arms, I have that, I have that same right as you do. Just because I'm black doesn't mean I shouldn't have a gun; I legally own guns.”

“We try to do what's right, or rather what other say is right. But sometimes, when that goes against who we are… you have to choose.”

“To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it.”

“Sometimes you break your heart in the right way, if you know what I mean.”

“Sometimes being an adult means doing the right thing, even if it's not what you want.”

“Sometimes what we want to do and what we must do are not the same. Pasquo, the smaller the space between your desire and what is right, the happier you will be.”

“Sometimes what you want is right in front of you. All you have to do is open your eyes and see it.”

“How can you pass laws about things that nobody knows?"
"They do it all the time," says Hayden. "That's what law is: educated guesses at right and wrong.”
