I am what a romantic movie is to a profound thinker - a mere diversion, a comic interlude, something that is soon forgotten.

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!

I want to go on living even after my death, And therefore I am grateful to God For giving this gift... Of expressing all that is in me.

If I read a book that impresses me, I have to take myself firmly by the hand, before I mix with other people otherwise they would think my mind rather queer.

How wonderful it is that we can start doing good at this very moment.

I feel wicked sleeping in a warm bed, while my dearest friends have been knocked down or have fallen into a gutter somewhere out in the cold night. I get frightened when I think of close friends who have now been delivered into the hands of the cruelest brutes that walk the earth. And all because they are Jews!

Older people have formed their opinions about everything, and don't waver before they act. It's twice as hard for us young ones to hold our ground, and maintain our opinions, in a time when all ideals are being shattered and destroyed, when people are showing their worst side, and do not know whether to believe in truth and right and God.

I can't let them see my doubts, or the wounds they've inflicted on me.

We lit the stove a few days ago and the entire room is filled with smoke. I prefer central heating, and I'm probably not the only one.

Don't be too assuming, it doesn't get you anywhere.

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.

I can't help telling you that I've begin to feel deserted.
Anne Frank

One must apply one's reason to everything here, learning to obey, to shut up, to help, to be good, to give in, and I don't know what else. I'm afraid I shall use up all my brains too quickly, and I haven't got so very many. Then I shall not have any left for when the war is over.

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!

Sympathy, Love, Fortune... We all have these qualities but still tend to not use them!
