“I'm worried I'll be mad forever."
"Then be mad forever," Bertie said.
He sounded unsure. "But I have so much anger."
"Because much has been done upon you," Sofie said. "The Nazis have made us scared of anger, made us believe that anger is bad. Anger is not bad. Anger is how we tell ourselves that we've been wronged, that we've been mistreated, and that it's not okay. Anger is a beautiful emotion. We just need to express it properly.”

“transvestites are under attack, then the whole of the country is on the brink of destruction. If transvestites are cared for, the rest of us are cared for. You touch everything a strong society has to offer. We could work, we could eat, we could be healthy, we could live in safe homes, we could decline to fight in unnecessary wars. Our country would be honest. We would no longer be tricked. Our country would take care of us and we, in turn, would take care of our country. So as long as transvestites are okay, we know society is, too. That’s why I’m here for you. Because I love my country.”

“What I'm saying is, don't regard me too heroically. I care about you because I care about everyone. Nothing I'm doing here is noble or generous. It's simply common sense. It's simply humanity. No person should encourage the suffering of another. There's already too much given by nature. And when a person encourages the suffering of another, you can bet they won't stop there. They want to see it because they hope it will fill the emptiness inside themselves, but it won't, because it never does, and so they'll look for the next one, and the next one, and the one after that.”
