The encounter with the Constitutional text has been, in many senses, my life's work. William J. Brennan

reading book guardian
If it was a biopic about Glenn Greenwald, I would have immersed myself more fully in his personal life and gotten to know him as much as I could, but because it was much more about his relationship to this particular situation, to The Guardian, to Laura Poitras, and to Ewen MacAskill, and Edward Snowden, I was able to really learn a lot about him from reading his book and reading his many articles and accounts of that time.

It would take me years of reading, thought, and experience to learn again that in this world limits are not only inescapable but indispensable.
