There's this one quote by Sophie Scholl that I adore and says something along these lines:
"The real damage is caused those millions who want to 'survive'. The honest men who just want to be left in peace. Those who don't want their little lives disturbed by anything bigger than themselves. Those with no sides and no causes. Those who don't take measure of their own strength, for fear of antagonizing their own weakness. Those who don't like to make waves—or enemies. Those for whom freedom, honor, truth, and principles are only in literature. Those who live small, mate small, die small. It's the reductionist approach to life: if you keep it small, you keep it under control. If you don't make any noise, the bogeyman won't find you. But it's all an illusion, because they die too, those people who roll up their spirits into tiny little balls so as to be safe. SAFE?! From what? Life is always on the edge of death. Narrow streets lead to the same place as wide avenues, and a little candle
(sorry it cut me off, here's the rest)
candle burns itself out just like a flaming torch does. I choose my own way to burn."
So, among a similar mindset but I just prefer Sophie Scholl's because it's so dramatic and it has more to it.
i loved this movie. I had to watch it in German class last year (feels weird saying it) and honestly I cried and cried when I realised that she does a hero, and is less known than Anne Frank, who got famous by writing a journal entry everyday
