Arrest me for sitting on a bus? You may do that.

I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear.

When that white driver stepped back toward us, when he waved his hand and ordered us up and out of our seats, I felt a determination cover my body like a quilt on a winter night.

Have you ever been hurt and the place tries to heal a bit, and you just pull the scar off of it over and over again.

I will no longer act on the outside in a way that contradicts the truth that I hold deeply inside. I will no longer act as if I were less than the whole person I know myself inwardly to be.

One person can change the world.

I believe there is only one race - the human race.
