Anne Frank

I have one wish, and that is to live, to be useful, to bring joy to people.

The sun is shining, the sky is a deep blue, there's a lovely breeze, and I'm longing for everything. For a kiss, for a summer day, for a bicycle, for a new pair of shoes.

I'm not going to be a housewife, but an independent woman who works for a living.

It's difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality.

Everyone has a conscience, and everyone knows whether they're doing right or wrong.

I want to be a journalist.

The world is in an upheaval, and we're just sitting here, waiting for what's to come.

There's a saying that 'clothes make the man.' I wouldn't say that, but I would say that clothes make the woman.

I sometimes think that God is trying to test us, to see if we can remain good in spite of these times.

As long as you're in the house, you can read as much as you like.

I'm going to be a famous writer.

How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.

I wish I could go out and enjoy the sunshine and fresh air.

I'm not a coward, but I'm afraid of being caught.

I believe that in the end, truth will conquer falsehood.

I don't want to have lived in vain like most people. I want to be useful or bring enjoyment to all people, even those I've never met. I want to go on living even after my death!

The greatest tragedy is not death, but life without purpose.

I am young and I have many qualities and I am not as bad as I am made out to be.

Our lives are fashioned by our choices. First we make our choices, then our choices make us.

I must be myself. I cannot be otherwise.
