I really try to ask myself the question of nine. Will this matter in nine minutes, nine hours, nine days, nine weeks, nine months or nine years? If it will truly matter for all of those, pay attention to it.

Whitney Wolfe Herd

Nine and nine makes fourteen, four and four makes nine. The clock is striking thirteen, I think I've lost my mind.

I think there needs to be a range of justices, of all types. You can't just pick one type.
