More quotes by Anne Frank

Image
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
Image
The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be.
Anne Frank

Paper has more patience than people.
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.

One gets on better in life if one is not over modest.
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!

What a wonderful thought it is that some of the best days of our lives haven't even happened yet.
Anne Frank
Image
We lit the stove a few days ago and the entire room is filled with smoke. I prefer central heating, and I'm probably not the only one.
Anne Frank

As long as you're in the food business, why not make sweets?
Anne Frank
Image
I believe that in the course of the next century the notion that it's a woman's duty to have children will change and make way for the respect and admiration of all women, who bear their burdens without complaint or a lot of pompous words!
Anne Frank
Image
Crying can bring relief, as long as you don't cry alone.
Anne Frank
Image
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.

This is a photograph of me as I wish I looked all the time. Then I might have a chance of getting in Hollywood.

How wonderful it is that we can start doing good at this very moment.
Anne Frank
Image
Don't condemn me, remember rather that sometimes I, too, can reach the bursting point.
Anne Frank
Image
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
Image
How wonderful it is that no one has to wait, but can start right now to gradually change the world!

I wish to go on living even after my death.
Anne Frank
Image
Riches can all be lost, but that happiness in your own heart can only be veiled, and it will bring you happiness again, as long as you live.
Anne Frank
Image
You can be lonely even when you are loved by many people, since you are still not anybody's one and only.
