I don't believe that the big men, the politicians and capitalists alone, are guilty of war. Oh no, the little man is just as guilty, otherwise the peoples of the world would have risen in revolt long ago!

As long as you're in the food business, why not make sweets?
Anne Frank
Ordinary people simply don't know what books mean to us, shut up here. Reading, learning, and the radio are our amusements.
Anne Frank
Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don't know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!
Anne Frank
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
We can't control our destiny, but we can control who we become.
Anne Frank
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.
Anne Frank
Parents can only advise their children or point them in the right direction. Ultimately people shape their own characters.
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
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
Who would ever think that so much went on in the soul of a young girl?
Anne Frank
Our lives are fashioned by our choices. First we make our choices. Then our choices make us.
Anne Frank
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.
Anne Frank
Older people have formed their opinions about everything, and don't waver before they act. It's twice as hard for us young ones to hold our ground, and maintain our opinions, in a time when all ideals are being shattered and destroyed, when people are showing their worst side, and do not know whether to believe in truth and right and God.
Anne Frank
Ordinary people don't know how much books can mean to someone who's cooped up.
Anne Frank
If the truth is told, things are just as bad as you yourself care to make them.
Anne Frank
We all live with the objective of being happy our lives are all different and yet the same.
Anne Frank
I can't imagine how anyone can say: I'm weak, and then remain so. After all, if you know it, why not fight against it, why not try to train your character? The answer was: Because it's so much easier not to!
Anne Frank
I am what a romantic movie is to a profound thinker - a mere diversion, a comic interlude, something that is soon forgotten.
Anne Frank
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
Sometimes I believe that God wants to try me, both now and later on I must become good through my own efforts, without examples and without good advice.
Anne Frank
