Anne Frank quotes - page 3

I do my best to please everybody, far more than they'd ever guess. I try to laugh it all off, because I don't want to let them see my trouble. (Anne Frank)
I think it's odd that grown-ups quarrel so easily and so often and about such petty matters. Up to now I always thought bickering was just something children did and that they outgrew it. View quote
Anne Frank
I'm sentimental--I know. I'm desperate and silly--I know that too. Oh, help me! View quote
Anne Frank
It is becoming a bad dream-- in the daytime as well as at night. I see him nearly all the time and can't get at him, I mustn't show anything, must remain gay while I'm really in despair. View quote
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. View quote
Anne Frank
I simply can't build my hopes on a foundation of confusion, misery and death... I think... peace and tranquillity will return again. View quote
Anne Frank
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! View quote
Anne Frank
You can be lonely even when you're loved by many people, since you're still not anybody's "one and only". View quote
Anne Frank
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 and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As long as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles. View quote
Anne Frank
People can tell you to keep your mouth shut, but it doesn't stop you having your own opinions. Even if people are still very young, they shouldn't be prevented from saying what they think. View quote
Anne Frank
I have often been downcast, but never in despair; I regard our hiding as a dangerous adventure, romantic and interesting at the same time. In my diary I treat all the privations as amusing. I have made up my mind now to lead a different life from other girls and, later on, different from ordinary housewives. My start has been so very full of interest, and that is the sole reason why I have to laugh at the humorous side of the most dangerous moments. (Anne Frank)
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. A person who's happy will make others happy; a person who has courage and faith will never die in misery! View quote
Anne Frank
We're all alive, but we don't know why or what for; we're all searching for happiness; we're all leading lives that are different and yet the same. View quote
Anne Frank
I know what I want, I have a goal, an opinion, I have a religion and love. Let me be myself and then I am satisfied. I know that I'm a woman, a woman with inward strength and plenty of courage. View quote
Anne Frank
What is done cannot be undone, but one can prevent it happening again. View quote

A quiet conscience makes one strong! (Anne Frank)
I want to go on living even after my death! And therefore I am grateful to G-d for this gift, this possibility of developing myself and of writing, of expressing all that is in me. I can shake off everything if I write; my sorrows disappear; my courage is reborn. But, and that is the great question, will I ever be able to write anything great, will I ever become a journalist or a writer? View quote
Anne Frank
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. View quote
