I think a lot, but I don't say much.
Anne Frank

Writing in a diary is a really strange experience for someone like me. Not only because I’ve never written anything before, but also because it seems to me that later on neither I nor anyone else will be interested in the musings of a thirteen-year old school girl. Oh well, it doesn’t matter. I feel like writing.

You can get around to meaningful conversations more quickly in the dark than with the sun tickling your face.
Anne Frank
Image
I can't let them see my doubts, or the wounds they've inflicted on me.
Anne Frank

Our lives are fashioned by our choices. First we make our choices. Then our choices make us.
Anne Frank
Image
I am what a romantic movie is to a profound thinker - a mere diversion, a comic interlude, something that is soon forgotten.
Anne Frank
Image
And finally I twist my heart round again, so that the bad is on the outside and the good is on the inside, and keep on trying to find a way of becoming what I would so like to be, and could be, if there weren't any other people living in the world.

You can always-always-give something, even if it's a simple act of kindness! If everyone were to give in this way and didn't scrimp on kindly words, there would be much more love and justice in the world!
Anne Frank
Image
What I condemn are our system of values and the men who don't acknowledge how great, difficult, but ultimately beautiful women's share in society is.
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
An empty day, though clear and bright, Is just as dark as any night.
Anne Frank
Image
I simply can't imagine the world will ever be normal again for us. I do talk about after the war, but it's as if I'm talking about a castle in the air, something that can never come true.
Anne Frank
Image
But I won't bore you any longer on the subject of old men. It won't make things any better and all my plans of revenge (such as disconnecting the lamp, shutting the door, hiding his clothes) must be abandoned in order to keep the peace. Oh, I'm becoming so sensible!

Who else but me is ever going to read these letters?
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.
Anne Frank
Image
This week I've been reading a lot and doing little work. That's the way things ought to be. That's surely the road to success.

Image
What's done can't be undone, but at least you can keep it from happening again.
Anne Frank
Image
I've found that there is always some beauty left-in nature, sunshine, freedom, in yourself these can all help you. Look at these things, then you find yourself again, and God, and then you regain your balance. And whoever is happy will make others happy too. He who has courage and faith will never perish in misery!
Anne Frank
Image
Sometimes I believe that God wants to try me, both now and later on I must become good through my own efforts, without examples and without good advice.
Anne Frank

Anyhow, I've learned one thing now. You only really get to know people when you've had a jolly good row with them. Then and then only can you judge their true characters!
