I’ve just been playing the Trout Quintet on the phonograph. Listening to the andantino makes me want to be a trout myself.

Great Sophie Scholl Quotes
The only remedy for a barren heart is prayer, however poor and inadequate. ~ Sophie Scholl.
Many people think of our times as being the last before the end of the world. The evidence of horror all around us makes this seem possible. But isn’t that an idea of only minor importance? Doesn’t every human being, no matter which era he lives in, always have to reckon with being accountable to God at any moment? Can I know whether I’ll be alive tomorrow morning? A bomb could destroy all of us tonight. And then my guilt would not be one bit less than if I perished together with the Earth and the stars. ~ Sophie Scholl.

I choose my own way to burn. ~ Sophie Scholl.

I’ve been thinking of a story from the Old Testament: Moses stood all day and all night with outstretched arms, praying to God for victory. And whenever he let down his arms, the enemy prevailed over the children of Israel. Are there still people today who never weary of directing all their thinking and all their energy, single-heartedly, to one cause? ~ Sophie Scholl.
