The reason for my starting a diary is that I have no real friend.
Anne Frank
Image
We can't control our destiny, but we can control who we become.
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
Sometimes I'm so deeply buried under self-reproaches that I long for a word of comfort to help me dig myself out again.
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
Image
Where there's hope, there's life. It fills us with fresh courage and makes us strong again.
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.

The only way to truly know a person is to argue with them. For when they argue in full swing, then they reveal their true character.
Anne Frank
Image
I can shake off everything as I write my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn.
Anne Frank
Image
I want friends, not admirers. People who respect me for my character and my deeds, not my flattering smile. The circle around me would be much smaller, but what does that matter, as long as they're sincere?
Anne Frank
Image
I wonder if anyone can ever succeed in making their children content.
Anne Frank
Image
What I condemn are our system of values and the men who don't acknowledge how great, difficult, but ultimately beautiful women's share in society is.
Anne Frank
Image
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
Image
Misfortunes never come singly.
Anne Frank
Image
At any rate, Daddy usually comes to my defence. Without him I wouldn't be able to stick out here.
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
We're not the only people that have had to suffer, there have always been people that've had to.
