“The gentry protect their names like hymens,
They suck their names like thumbs,
But they sign their names and something happens.
While Zimmer, I can write, Zimmer,
All day, and nothing happens.”

“Where are we going? We're going to try and fulfill Dr. Martin Luther King's dream, and if we Mexican Americans march to Washington, it is to tell this country that poverty is not a Negro problem. Poverty is a Mexican-American problem; poverty is an American-Indian problem; poverty is a Puerto Rican problem; poverty is an Appalachian problem.”
― Rodolfo Gonzalez Lebrero
