The fact that there are girls in the world as young as 8 who want to behave like adults and want to be attractive to boys and men and sexy due to being encouraged to behave like mini-adults, losing their childhood and the whole concept of being a child, running right into the hands of pedophilia this way, and becoming anorexic and weight-obsessed, hating their own bodies because they don't look like grown up female bodies, because they want to look sexy because being sexy is portrayed as the highest purpose of being a woman ... That makes me want to shut my future daughters off from all media for ever

Ich glaube nicht, dass es unsere Bestimmung ist wie ein Phönix hell strahlend aus der Asche unserer Heimat aufzuerstehen.

Vielleicht haben wir eine viel unauffälligere, bescheidenere Aufgabe...

Vielleicht ist es unsere Bestimmung die letzte Glut dieser Asche zu ehren und unermüdlich durch das Dunkel zu tragen, selbst wenn das Ende dieser traurigen Reise nicht in Sicht ist.

Deiner Sprache, deiner Sitte, deinen Toten bleibe treu! Steh' in deines Volkes Mitte, was sein Schicksal immer sei!
