Quote

The Annex is an ideal place to hide in. It may be damp and lopsided, but there's probably not a more comfortable hiding place in all of Amsterdam. No, in all of Holland.

And you can always, always, give kindness
Anne Frank

I have always been the dunce, the never-do-well of the family, I've always have to pay double for my deeds, first with the scolding and then again because of the way my feelings are hurt.
Anne Frank
Image
I've found that there is always some beauty left-in nature, sunshine, freedom, in yourself these can all help you. Look at these things, then you find yourself again, and God, and then you regain your balance. And whoever is happy will make others happy too. He who has courage and faith will never perish in misery!

but i've slammed the door to my inner self if he ever wants to force the lock again, he'll have to use a harder crowbar!
Anne Frank
Image
If God lets me live, I shall attain more than Mummy ever has done, I shall not remain insignificant, I shall work in the world and for mankind!

Writing in a diary is a really strange experience for someone like me. Not only because I’ve never written anything before, but also because it seems to me that later on neither I nor anyone else will be interested in the musings of a thirteen-year old school girl. Oh well, it doesn’t matter. I feel like writing.

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.

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
If I read a book that impresses me, I have to take myself firmly by the hand, before I mix with other people otherwise they would think my mind rather queer.
Anne Frank
Image
We've all been a little confused this past week, because our dearly beloved Westertoren bells have been carted off to be melted down for the war, so we have no idea of the exact time, either night or day.
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
I... keep trying to find a way to become what I'd like to be and what I could be if... if only there were no other people in the world.
Anne Frank

You can be lonely even when you are loved by many people, since you are still not anybody's one and only.
Anne Frank
Image
He clings to his solitude, to his affected indifference and his grown-up ways, but it's just an act, so as never, never to show his real feelings.
Anne Frank
Image
I must work, so as not to be a fool, to get on, to become a journalist, because that's what I want!... I can't imagine that I would have to lead the same sort of life as Mummyand all the women who do their work and are then forgotten. I must have something besides a husband and children, something that I can devote myself to!
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
We’re all alive, but we don’t know why or what for we’re all searching for happiness we’re all leading lives which are different and yet the same.
Anne Frank
Image
When I write I can shake off all my cares. My sorrow disappears, my spirits are revived.
Anne Frank
