I have a temperament that doesn't adapt well to politics. It's because I speak my mind so much. -Joaquim Barbosa Politics
I think my legacy will be in what most people don't like about me: my style - the separation between judge and lawyers, judge and politics, the real independence of the judiciary from the executive, from the legislative, from money. I'm criticized in Brazil because of that. In the end, I hope to prevail. -Joaquim Barbosa Independence
