Image
Anyhow, I've learned one thing now. You only really get to know people when you've had a jolly good row with them. Then and then only can you judge their true characters!
Anne Frank
Image
As long as you can look fearlessly at the sky, you'll know that your pure within and will find happiness once more.
Anne Frank
Image
We're not the only people that have had to suffer, there have always been people that've had to.
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
One must apply one's reason to everything here, learning to obey, to shut up, to help, to be good, to give in, and I don't know what else. I'm afraid I shall use up all my brains too quickly, and I haven't got so very many. Then I shall not have any left for when the war is over.
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
Image
Everyone thinks I'm showing off when I talk, ridiculous when I'm silent, insolent when I answer, cunning when I have a good idea, lazy when I'm tired, selfish when I eat one bite more than I should.
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.

Image
Ordinary people simply don't know what books mean to us, shut up here. Reading, learning, and the radio are our amusements.
Anne Frank
Image
Memories mean more to me than dresses.
Anne Frank
Image
Deep down I know I could never be that innocent again, however much I'd like to be.
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 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?
Anne Frank
Image
I wonder if anyone can ever succeed in making their children content.
Anne Frank
Image
I know what I want, I have a goal, an opinion, I have a religion and love. Let me be myself and then I am satisfied. I know that I’m a woman, a woman with inward strength and plenty of courage.
Anne Frank
Image
I never utter my real feelings about anything. My lighter, superficial side will always be too quick for the deeper side of me, and that's why it always wins.
Anne Frank
Image
Misfortunes never come singly.
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 wish to go on living even after my death.

Just imagine how interesting it would be if I were to publish a romance of the Secret Annexe. The title alone would be enough to make people think it was a detective story.
