Anne Frank
Image
I've reached the point where I hardly care whether I live or die. The world will keep on turning without me, I can't do anything to change events anyway.
Anne Frank
Image
We aren't allowed to have any opinions. People can tell you to keep your mouth shut, but it doesn't stop you having your own opinion. Even if people are still very young, they shouldn't be prevented from saying what they think.
Anne Frank
Image
I simply can't build my hopes on a foundation of confusion, misery and death... I think... peace and tranquillity will return again.

People who have a religion should be glad, for not everyone has the gift of believing in heavenly things.
Anne Frank

but i've slammed the door to my inner self if he ever wants to force the lock again, he'll have to use a harder crowbar!

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be.

Everyone thinks I'm showing off when I talk, ridiculous when I'm silent, insolent when I answer, cunning when I have a good idea, lazy when I'm tired, selfish when I eat one bite more than I should.
