More quotes by Anne Frank
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
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.
Anne Frank
Deep down I know I could never be that innocent again, however much I'd like to be.
Anne Frank
I must uphold my ideals, for perhaps the time will come when I shall be able to carry them out.
Anne Frank
Another fact that doesn't exactly brighten up our days is that Mr. Van Maaren, the man who works in the warehouse, is getting suspicious about the Annex.
Anne Frank
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.
Anne Frank
I don't dare do anything anymore, 'cause I'm afraid it's not allowed.
Anne Frank
Earning happiness means doing good and working, not speculating and being lazy. Laziness may look inviting, but only work gives you true satisfaction.
Anne Frank
Thinking about the suffering of those you hold dear can reduce you to tears in fact, you could spend the whole day crying.
Anne Frank
You can always-always-give something, even if it's a simple act of kindness! If everyone were to give in this way and didn't scrimp on kindly words, there would be much more love and justice in the world!
Anne Frank
I believe that in the course of the next century the notion that it's a woman's duty to have children will change and make way for the respect and admiration of all women, who bear their burdens without complaint or a lot of pompous words!
Anne Frank
God has never deserted our people. Through the ages Jews have had to suffer, but through the ages they've gone on living, and the centuries of suffering have only made them stronger.
Anne Frank
There's something happening everyday, but I'm too tired and lazy to write it all down.
Anne Frank
Who else but me is ever going to read these letters?
Anne Frank
In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can't build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery and death.
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?
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.
Anne Frank
There's in people simply an urge to destroy, an urge to kill, to murder and rage, and until all mankind, without exception, undergoes a great change, wars will be waged, everything that has been built up, cultivated, and grown will be destroyed and disfigured, after which mankind will have to begin all over again
Anne Frank
I can recapture everything when I write, my thoughts, my ideals and my fantasies.
Anne Frank
I can't help telling you that I've begin to feel deserted.
Anne Frank
