Sophie Scholl is the ultimate badass, and a quote of hers motivates me to more and more political action. The ovaries on this woman, the guts, just before she is killed at twenty-one.
"How can we expect righteousness to prevail when there is hardly anyone willing to give himself up individually to a righteous cause? Such a fine, sunny day, and I have to go, but what does my death matter, if through us, thousands of people are awakened and stirred to action?"
-Sophie Scholl, 22 February, 1942.
