In 2015, an opera opened about me and Justice Antonin Scalia. It's called 'Scalia/Ginsburg.' The composer, Derrick Wang, has degrees in music from Harvard and Yale. Enrolled in law school, he was reading dueling opinions by me and Justice Scalia and decided he could compose an appealing comic opera from them.

Each part of my life provided respite from the other and gave me a sense of proportion that classmates trained only on law studies lacked.

When a thoughtless or unkind word is spoken, best tune out.
