Our lives are fashioned by our choices. First we make our choices. Then our choices make us.
Anne Frank

Older people have formed their opinions about everything, and don't waver before they act.

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!
Anne Frank

Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character and goodness.
Anne Frank
Image
Not being able to go outside upsets me more than I can say, and I’m terrified our hiding place will be discovered and that we’ll be shot.
Anne Frank
Image
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
Sleep makes the silence and the terrible fear go by more quickly, helps pass the time, since it's impossible to kill.
Anne Frank
Image
How wonderful it is that we can start doing good at this very moment.
Anne Frank
Image
If the truth is told, things are just as bad as you yourself care to make them.
Anne Frank
Image
In the future I'm going to devote less time to sentimentality and more time to reality.
Anne Frank

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.
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.

We all live with the objective of being happy our lives are all different and yet the same.
