Sacrosanct means beyond alteration, criticism, or interference, especially due to religious sanction, and inviolable. The term is derived from the phrase sacer esto ("let him be accursed") and reflects that violation of a tribune's sacrosanctity was not only a secular offense, but a religious offense as well.

  • Pulitzer Prizes are the preeminent mark of achievement in American journalism. As the prizes for reporting on Vietnam in defiance of official wishes show, they also point to the press's view of its role in society. That view has changed substantially over the more than eighty years of the Pulitzer Prizes' existence. Exposing official corruption on a local level had always been part of what journalists see as their function. But today, more than ever before, they are ready to write critically about the policies of the federal government, even in the once sacrosanct areas of foreign and national security affairs.

  • He had been an extremely thorough and patient Judge with unremitting industry and keen sense to discover truth and do justice. Law, liberty and justice were upheld with consummate ability and independence by His Lordship. On public controversies, some of his judgments are thought provoking.

The distinction between the law and order and the public order, has been brought out succinctly in his reported judgments.

  • There is wisdom and tolerance in that attitude. In a world built on sacrosanct certainties the novel is dead … In any case, it seems to me that all over the world people nowadays prefer to judge rather than to understand, to answer rather than ask, so that the voice of the novel can hardly be heard over the noisy foolishness of human certainties.

Selective use of quotes can be unbalanced.

When quoting an individual always give the context or circumstances of the quote. - Thomson Reuters.
