'I don't mind if no one remembers me. If I'm going to be remembered by the fictional notes the press wrote about me, why would I want to be remembered at all?'  -Yoko Ono


At one point or another, some - in fact, most - Beatles fans would prefer to forget her as well. But although her name is a byword for the evil agent that ruins a great thing, Yoko Ono has been rehabilitated in the eyes of many Beatles fans over the years, thanks to her fierce and noble defense of John Lennon's image and memory. She has, for instance, successfully fought parole for her husband's killer five times.

'Men feared witches and burnt women. It is the function of speech to free men from the bondage of irrational fears.'  -Louis D. Brandeis


Louis D. Brandeis served as a U.S. Supreme Court Justice between 1916 and 1939. Nominated by President Woodrow Wilson, Brandeis was the first Jewish jurist on the high court, and his opinions on both right to privacy and free speech are considered among the finest ever written by a member of the high court (today's quote comes from his opinion in Whitney v. California from 1927).

'Censorship reflects a society's lack of confidence in itself. It is a hallmark of an authoritarian regime.'  -Potter Stewart


Potter Stewart was a U.S. Supreme Court Justice from 1958 to 1981. Nominated by President Eisenhower, Justice Stewart is likely best known for his role in Jacobellis v. Ohio (1964), an obscenity case dealing with a movie. Stewart wrote that hardcore pornography was difficult to define, but that "I know it when I see it." Today's quote comes from his dissenting opinion in Ginzberg v. United States (1966), a case involving erotica publisher Ralph Ginzburg, whose work Stewart defended.

'The first thing I would do every morning was look at the box scores to see what Magic did. I didn't care about anything else.'  -Larry Bird


Boston Celtic legend Larry Bird first faced off against Magic Johnson in the 1979 NCAA title game, and their rivalry, which became one of the most celebrated in sports history, went on to include three NBA championships and numerous regular season games. As is evident from the quote, Bird was as competitive against Johnson as he was famous for being a nonstop trash-talker on the court.
