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."

"Fear drives civilization. Without it, there is only chaos."

"Order through chaos. That's the only real answer."

"Politics and power corrupt when they're separated from purpose."

"The system isn't broken—it was built this way. We have to rebuild it."
