"Itâ€™s the reductionist approach to life: if you keep it small, youâ€™ll keep it under control. If you donâ€™t make any noise, the bogeyman wonâ€™t find you. But itâ€™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 burns itself out just like a flaming torch does. I choose my own way to burn."

-- Sophie Scholl
