Anne Frank
Image
Let's not talk about it any more, but if you still want anything please write to me about it, because I can say what I mean much better on paper.
Anne Frank
Image
I can recapture everything when I write, my thoughts, my ideals and my fantasies.
Anne Frank
Image
Don't condemn me, remember rather that sometimes I, too, can reach the bursting point.
Anne Frank
Image
The only way to truly know a person is to argue with them. For when they argue in full swing, then they reveal their true character.
Anne Frank
Image
Don't aim for success if you want it just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally. Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.
Anne Frank
Image
I live in a crazy time.
Anne Frank
Image
Sometimes I'm so deeply buried under self-reproaches that I long for a word of comfort to help me dig myself out again.
