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!
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!
Anne Frank

What a wonderful thought it is that some of the best days of our lives haven't even happened yet.
Anne Frank

I'm currently in the middle of a depression. I couldn't really tell you what set it off, but I think it stems from my cowardice, which confronts me at every turn.

People who give will never be poor.
Anne Frank
Image
I'm sentimental--I know. I'm desperate and silly--I know that too. Oh, help me!
Anne Frank
Image
I don't think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains.
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
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
People can so easily be tempted by slackness... and by money.
Anne Frank
Image
Why can't people live with each other in peace? Why must everything be destroyed? Why must people go hungry while surplus food elsewhere in the world rots away? Oh why must people be so crazy?
Anne Frank
Image
Let's not talk about it any more, but if you still want anything please write to me about it, because I can say what I mean much better on paper.
