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.

I think the legacy we leave is our family. I don’t think it’s money. I don’t think it’s – I’m not saying that charity isn’t a great thing. I just think that it’s my family. Even now I look and I think, God, I’m lucky if I lost it all.
