There's only one rule you need to remember: laugh at everything and foget everybody else! It sound egotistical, but it's actually the only cure for those suffering from self-pity.
Anne Frank
Image
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
Image
I do my best to please everybody, far more than they'd ever guess. I try to laugh it all off, because I don't want to let them see my trouble.
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
You must work and do good, not be lazy and gamble, if you wish to earn happiness. Laziness may appear attractive, but work gives satisfaction.
Anne Frank
Image
What a wonderful thought it is that some of the best days of our lives haven't even happened yet.
Anne Frank
Image
I think it's odd that grown-ups quarrel so easily and so often and about such petty matters. Up to now I always thought bickering was just something children did and that they outgrew it.
Anne Frank
Image
Yes, there is no doubt that paper is patient and as I don't intend to show this cardboard-covered notebook, bearing the proud name of diary, to anyone, unless I find a real friend, boy or girl, probably nobody cares. And now I come to the root of the matter, the reason for my starting a diary: it is that I have no such real friend.
Anne Frank
Image
Even when I was older, I couldn't stop asking questions.
Anne Frank
Image
It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.
Anne Frank
Image
I can shake off everything as I write my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn.
Anne Frank
Image
I want to write, but more than that, I want to bring out all kinds of things that lie buried deep in my heart.
Anne Frank
Image
A quiet conscience makes one strong!
Anne Frank

The reason for my starting a diary is that I have no real friend.
Anne Frank
Image
Then I fall asleep with a stupid feeling of wishing to be different from what I am or from what I want to be perhaps to behave differently from the way I want to behave or do behave.
Anne Frank
Image
Whoever doesn't know it must learn and find by experience that a quiet conscience makes one strong.
Anne Frank
Image
Then, without realizing it, you try to improve yourself at the start of each new day of course, you achieve quite a lot in the course of time. Anyone can do this, it costs nothing and is certainly very helpful. Whoever doesn't know it must learn and find by experience that a quiet conscience makes one strong.
Anne Frank
Image
I had to hold my head up high and put a bold face on things, but the thoughts keep coming anyways.
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
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!
