More quotes by Anne Frank
I think a lot, but I don't say much.
Anne Frank
Although I'm only fourteen, I know quite well what I want, I know who is right and who is wrong. I have my opinions, my own ideas and principles, and although it may sound pretty mad from an adolescent, I feel more of a person than a child, I feel quite indepedent of anyone.
Anne Frank
Why are millions spent on the war each day, while not a penny is available for ... artists or the poor? Why do people have to starve when mountians of food are rotting away in other parts of the world? Oh, why are people so crazy?
Anne Frank
I soothe my conscience now with the thought that it is better for hard words to be on paper than that Mummy should carry them in her heart.
Anne Frank
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.
Anne Frank
I want to go on living even after death!
Anne Frank
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.
Anne Frank
I can't help telling you that I've begin to feel deserted.
Anne Frank
Dead people receive more flowers than the living ones because the regret is stronger than gratitude.
Anne Frank
What's done can't be undone, but at least you can keep it from happening again.
Anne Frank
I must work, so as not to be a fool, to get on, to become a journalist, because that's what I want!... I can't imagine that I would have to lead the same sort of life as Mummyand all the women who do their work and are then forgotten. I must have something besides a husband and children, something that I can devote myself to!
Anne Frank
If I'm engrossed in a book, I have to rearrange my thoughts before I can mingle with other people, because otherwise they might think I was strange.
Anne Frank
Sometimes I think God is trying to test me, both now and in the future. I'll have to become a good person on my own, without anyone to serve as a model or advise me, but it'll make me stronger in the end.
Anne Frank
Who else but me is ever going to read these letters?
Anne Frank
The Annex is an ideal place to hide in. It may be damp and lopsided, but there's probably not a more comfortable hiding place in all of Amsterdam. No, in all of Holland.
Anne Frank
Paper has more patience than people.
Anne Frank
No one ever became poor from giving.
Anne Frank
I've found that there is always some beauty left -- in nature, sunshine, freedom, in yourself these can all help you.
Anne Frank
Sleep makes the silence and the terrible fear go by more quickly, helps pass the time, since it's impossible to kill.
Anne Frank
Riches, power and fame last only for a few years! Why do people cling so desperately to these transitory things? Why can't people who have more than they need for themselves give that surplus to their fellow citizens? Why should some people have such a hard time during their few years on this earth?
