“How can I hold that all men are created equal when here before me stands, stinking, the moral carcass of the gentleman from Ohio? Proof that some men are inferior, endowed by their maker with dim wits, impermeable to reason, with cold, pallid slime in their veins instead of hot, red blood!”
Tommy Lee Jones - Thaddeus Stevens

“In your heart of hearts, like Barclay and Delahay and Fowler and me, you still believe, inspite of your talk of equality and fraternity, you still believe that some people are better than others because of the way they make love.”
Rupert Everett - Guy Bennett

“The rich getting richer, that's the law of the land.”
Ed Harris - Dave Moss

“I don't hold with equality in all things, just equality before the law, nothing more.”
Tommy Lee Jones - Thaddeus Stevens

“I don't recall that glorious document saying anything about all straight men are created equal. I believe it says all men are created equal.”

Denzel Washington - Joe Miller
