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.

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!

And finally I twist my heart round again, so that the bad is on the outside and the good is on the inside, and keep on trying to find a way of becoming what I would so like to be, and could be, if there weren't any other people living in the world.
Anne Frank

Anne Frank
Image
Even when I was older, I couldn't stop asking questions.
Anne Frank
Image
I don't dare do anything anymore, 'cause I'm afraid it's not allowed.
Anne Frank
Image
Ordinary people don't know how much books can mean to someone who's cooped up.
Anne Frank
Image
You must work and should not be lazy if you want to be happy.
Anne Frank
Image
There's something happening everyday, but I'm too tired and lazy to write it all down.
Anne Frank
Image
I don't want to have lived in vain like most people. I want to be useful or bring enjoyment to all people, even those I've never met. I want to go on living even after my death!
Anne Frank
Image
Sometimes I think God is trying to test me, both now and in the future. I'll have to become a good person on my own, without anyone to serve as a model or advise me, but it'll make me stronger in the end.
Anne Frank
Image
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
Image
This week I've been reading a lot and doing little work. That's the way things ought to be. That's surely the road to success.

A person who's happy will make others happy a person who has courage and faith will never die in misery
