"Justice Cardozo once cast the dissenter as 'the gladiator making a last stand against the lions.' Justice Scalia's dissent is certainly the work of a gladiator" - Souter, J., Kiryas Joel v. Grumet, 512 U.S. 687 (1994)

"We must not forget that the dissenting opinion is often very valuable in the development of the law in the long term. Often, it contains the germ of an idea, which in a new generation will give forth to the large oak tree. So we should not underestimate the value of those dissenting judgements." - Lady Justice Arden, HLS, 9/28/05 .
