“What is it in us that seeks the truth? Is it our minds or is it our hearts? I set out to prove a black man could receive a fair trial in the south, that we are all equal in the eyes of the law. That’s not the truth. Cause the eyes of the law are human eyes, yours and mine. And until we can see each other as equals justice is never going to be even handed. It will remain a reflection of our own prejudices. So until that day, we have a duty under God to seek the truth. Not with our eyes not with our minds, in fear or in hate, in commonality or in prejudice… but with our hearts.”
-Jake Brigance (Matthew McConaughey) “A Time to Kill” (1996)
