Ordinary people simply don't know what books mean to us, shut up here. Reading, learning, and the radio are our amusements.

Those who have courage and faith shall never perish in misery

Who knows, perhaps he doesn't care about me at all and look at the others in just the same way.
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

I am what a romantic movie is to a profound thinker - a mere diversion, a comic interlude, something that is soon forgotten.
Anne Frank
Image
Sometimes I believe that God wants to try me, both now and later on I must become good through my own efforts, without examples and without good advice.

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
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?

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?

How lovely to think that no one need wait a moment, we can start now, start slowly changing the world! How lovely that everyone, great and small, can make their contribution toward introducing justice straightaway... And you can always, always give something, even if it is only kindness!

Although I'm only fourteen, I know quite well what I want, I know who is right and who is wrong. I have my opinions, my own ideas and principles, and although it may sound pretty mad from an adolescent, I feel more of a person than a child, I feel quite indepedent of anyone.

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.

We can't control our destiny, but we can control who we become.
Anne Frank

Sympathy, Love, Fortune... We all have these qualities but still tend to not use them!
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!

Look at how a single candle can both defy and define the darkness.

The weak fall, but the strong will remain and never go under!

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.
