A Quote - The Fourth Leaflet of the White Rose

"...We emphatically point out that the White Rose is not in the pay of any foreign power. Although we know that the National Socialist power must be broken by military means, we seek the revival of the deeply wounded German spirit. For the sake of future generations, an example must be set after the war, so that no one will ever have the slightest desire to try anything like this ever again. Do not forget the minor scoundrels of this system; note their names, so that no one may escape...We shall not be silent - we are your bad conscience. The White Rose will not leave you in peace..."

Quote by Sophie Scholl

"You know as well as we do that the war is lost. Why are you so cowardly that you won't admit it?"

-Sophie Scholl (after being mistreated in her "questioning" by the Gestapo, she arrived in court with a broken leg. But in a display of great courage, she stood up to the President of the Court, Roland Freisler, and stated the above quote.)

A Quote - Hans Scholl (The White Rose)

"I lay no claim to age and experience but above and beyond the flickering blaze of my youthful soul, I sometimes detect the eternal breath of Something Infinitely Great and Serene. God. Fate. ..."

-Hans Scholl, The White Rose

A Quote - "The Diaries of the White Rose"

"Since Hitler's Moods were said to be extraordinarily dependent on the sympathy of the masses, a reversal of feeling among the populace would have been a weapon of considerable force against him, one which would threaten his own self-confidence. FOR THESE REASONS the leaflets of the White Rose, were held by the highest levels of the party to constitute one of the greatest politcal "crimes" against the 3rd Reich"
