Quote by Sylvia Rivera

"Y'all better quiet down. I'm not gonna say it again. This is my house and I make the rules."

"We are the people that are not wanted in society. We are the people that society had written off, such as transvestites and homeless people."

"I was one of the first trans women on the scene and I will always be a legend."

"Street queen, street queen, that's me. And don't you forget it."

"The pen is mightier than the sword."

"Literature opens the mind to new worlds"

"The interesting thing about books is that they're made of words."

"Literature captures the essence of what it means to be human."
