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 best part of living is knowing you survived."

"The world needs heroes."

"Life is too short to live poorly."

"I'd rather be an optimist and be wrong than a pessimist and be right"
