Original Note:
The quote is wrongly attributed. The author of the phrase is Louis Brandeis, American lawyer and judge of the Supreme Court. The words „Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants” come from his article from 1913 and refer to a statement in James Bryce 1888 book. https://alasdairroberts.ca/2015/03/01/where-brandeis-got-sunlight-is-the-best-disinfectant/ https://sunlightfoundation.com/2009/05/26/brandeis-and-the-history-of-transparency/ https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sunlight_is_the_best_disinfectant https://louisville.edu/law/library/special-collections/the-louis-d.-brandeis-collection/other-peoples-money-chapter-v https://www.cardin.senate.gov/letters/sunlight-is-the-best-disinfectant/
