I can't help telling you that I've begin to feel deserted.
Anne Frank

How wonderful it is that we can start doing good at this very moment.
Anne Frank
Image
I've reached the point where I hardly care whether I live or die. The world will keep on turning without me, I can't do anything to change events anyway.
Anne Frank
Image
I had an occasional flash of understanding, but then got selfishly wrapped up again in my own problems and pleasures.
Anne Frank
Image
Then I fall asleep with a stupid feeling of wishing to be different from what I am or from what I want to be perhaps to behave differently from the way I want to behave or do behave.
Anne Frank

I have often been downcast, but never in despair.

How noble and good everyone could be if, every evening before falling asleep, they were to recall to their minds the events of the whole day and consider exactly what has been good and bad. Then without realizing it, you try to improve yourself at the start of each new day.

How lovely to think that no one need wait a moment, we can start now, start slowly changing the world!

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?

Anne Frank

I simply can't build my hopes on a foundation of confusion, misery and death... I think... peace and tranquillity will return again.
Anne Frank

Where there is hope...there is life
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!

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
One gets on better in life if one is not over modest.
Anne Frank
Image
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.
Anne Frank

It is becoming a bad dream-- in the daytime as well as at night. I see him nearly all the time and can't get at him, I mustn't show anything, must remain gay while I'm really in despair.
