"I had felt for a long time that if I was ever told to get up so a white person could sit, that I would refuse to do so."
"When the history of this nation is written, I hope that it will be said that we, the people, took a stand for justice and equality."
"I am just a person who believes in freedom and equality."
"I was not the only person who had been mistreated and humiliated. I was not the only person who had been arrested for this sort of thing. I was just one of many."
"I had been pushed around all my life and felt at this moment that I couldn’t take it anymore. When I asked the driver why he was treating me like this, he said, 'I'll have you arrested.'"
