Sonia Sotomayor Zitate

I realized that people had an unreal image of me, that somehow I was a god on Mount Olympus. I decided that if I were going to make use of my role as a Supreme Court Justice, it would be to inspire people to realize that, first, I was just like them and second, if I could do it, so could they.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Ich erkannte, dass die Leute ein unwirkliches Bild von mir hatten, dass ich irgendwie ein Gott auf dem Olymp war. Ich entschied, dass ich, wenn ich meine Rolle als Richter am Obersten Gerichtshof wahrnehme, die Menschen dazu inspirieren würde, zu erkennen, dass ich erstens wie sie sei und zweitens, wenn ich es könnte, könnten sie es auch.

My life has been many examples of shortsighted goals that I thought would fix things. You know, if there's something broken inside me, if there's a hole in there, I thought: If I could just write a good song someday, then I'd be OK. You know, if I could just be on stage in front of people I'd never seen before and be validated by them.
