I don't believe the war is simply the work of politicians and capitalists. Oh no, the common man is every bit as guilty otherwise, people and nations would have rebelled long ago!.

What's done can't be undone, but at least you can keep it from happening again.
Anne Frank
Image
I don't think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains....My advice is: Go outside, to the fields, enjoy nature and the sunshine, go out and try to recapture happiness in yourself and in God. Think of all the beauty that's still left in and around you and be happy!

Then, without realizing it, you try to improve yourself at the start of each new day of course, you achieve quite a lot in the course of time. Anyone can do this, it costs nothing and is certainly very helpful. Whoever doesn't know it must learn and find by experience that a quiet conscience makes one strong.

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.

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.

I looked up in the sky and trusted in God.
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
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
There's plenty of room for everyone in the world. Enough money, riches, and beauty for all to share. God has made enought for everyone, so let us all begin then by sharing it fairly.

Sleep makes the silence and the terrible fear go by more quickly, helps pass the time, since it's impossible to kill.

A quiet conscience makes one strong!

I simply can't imagine the world will ever be normal again for us. I do talk about after the war, but it's as if I'm talking about a castle in the air, something that can never come true.

Look at how a single candle can both defy and define the darkness.

Don't condemn me, remember rather that sometimes I, too, can reach the bursting point.
