Lady Justice Quotes

“because where I come from
jail or death
were the two options she handed to us
because where he came from
the American Dream
was the one option she handed to them

So here we are, blind Lady Justice
I see you, too”
― Ibi Zoboi, Punching the Air

“And we stepped onto
the tipping scales of Lady Justice
with her eyes blindfolded, peeking through slits
because that rag is so fucking old
worn-out, stretched thin, barely even there”
― Ibi Zoboi, Punching the Air

“Lady Justice usually sees the slapping of a girl by a man as more serious than the raping of a boy by a woman.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana
