Anne Frank

I'm not going to be modest; I'm going to be honest.

I've learned one thing: you only really get to know a person after a fight.

I don't want to be a burden to anyone.

I'm not conceited, but I do have a healthy dose of self-respect.

I'm not going to let myself be crushed by the misery.

It's an odd feeling to be so completely cut off from everything.

I've reached the stage where I don't care anymore what people think of me.

I want to go on living even after my death!

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.

It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.

I'm currently a sixteen-year-old in hiding.

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!

I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquility will return again.

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quite alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.

I'm not afraid of solitude, but I don't want to be alone.

I simply can't build up my hopes on a foundation of confusion, misery and death. I see the world being slowly transformed into a wilderness, I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too. I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more.

Who would ever think that so much can go on in the soul of a young girl?

There's a saying that 'desire can create miracles.'

I love the smell of rain.

I think it's a great pity that people are so afraid of one another.
