"I had been pushed around all my life and felt at this moment that I couldn’t take it anymore."
"I did not get on the bus to get arrested; I got on the bus to go home."
"I was arrested on December 1st, 1955 for refusing to stand up on the orders of the bus driver, after the white seats had been occupied in the front."
"Stand for something or you will fall for anything. Today's mighty oak is yesterday's nut that held its ground."
"The bus was a symbol of the segregated South, and my refusal to move was a small act of defiance that sparked a movement."
