Choose your own way to burn.
Welcome to Andrasta.net
I plan to create a site here to honour courageous women such as Boudica (Britain), Joan of Arc (France), Queen Nanny (the Caribbean), Sophie Scholl (Germany) and other fearless females who inspire me. Check back soon for updates or email me.

The title quote is from Sophie Scholl, an anti-fascist activist, who was murdered by the Nazis. Here is the full quotation: "The real damage is done by 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 won'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 literature. Those who live small, mate small, die small. It's the reductionist approach to life: if you keep it small, you'll 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 burns itself out just like a flaming torch does. I choose my own way to burn."
