Image
I have often been downcast, but never in despair.
Anne Frank
Image
Who would ever think that so much went on in the soul of a young girl?
Anne Frank
Image
I can't imagine how anyone can say: I'm weak, and then remain so. After all, if you know it, why not fight against it, why not try to train your character? The answer was: Because it's so much easier not to!
Anne Frank
Image
An empty day, though clear and bright, Is just as dark as any night.
Anne Frank
Image
Look at how a single candle can both defy and define the darkness.
Anne Frank
Image
I never utter my real feelings about anything. My lighter, superficial side will always be too quick for the deeper side of me, and that's why it always wins.
Anne Frank
Image
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
Image
Memories mean more to me than dresses.
Anne Frank
Image
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!
Anne Frank
Image
Riches can all be lost, but that happiness in your own heart can only be veiled, and it will bring you happiness again, as long as you live.
Anne Frank
Image
Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles.
Anne Frank
Image
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
Image
I long to ride a bike, dance, whistle, look at the world, feel young and know that I'm free, and yet I can't let it show. Just imagine what would happen if all eight of us were to feel sorry for ourselves or walk around with the discontent clearly visible on our faces. Where would that get us?
Anne Frank
Image
by thinking, nobody can ever get worse but will only get better.
Anne Frank
Image
I looked up in the sky and trusted in God.
Anne Frank
Image
What one Christian does is his own responsibility, what one Jew does is thrown back at all Jews.
Anne Frank
Image
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.
Anne Frank
Image
Live with the objective of being happy.
Anne Frank
Image
Who knows, perhaps he doesn't care about me at all and look at the others in just the same way.
Anne Frank
Image
If we bear all this suffering and if there are still Jews left, when it is over, then Jews, instead of being doomed, will be held up as an example.
