More Quotes By Anne Frank

In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.
Anne Frank
No one knows Anne's better side, and that's why most people can't stand me. Oh, I can be an amusing clown for an afternoon, but after that, everyone's had enough of me to last a month.
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.
Anne Frank
When I write, I can shake off all my cares.
Anne Frank
I have a family, loving aunts, and a good home. No, on the surface I seem to have everything except my one true friend. All I think about when I'm with friends is having a good time. I can't bring myself to talk about anything but ordinary everyday things. We don't seem to be able to get any closer, and that's the problem.
Anne Frank
I soothe my conscience now with the thought that it is better for hard words to be on paper than that Mummy should carry them in her heart.
Anne Frank
If I haven't any talent for writing books or newspaper articles, well, then I can always write for myself.
Anne Frank
Whoever doesn't know it must learn and find by experience that 'a quiet conscience makes one strong!'
Anne Frank
I'm afraid that people who know me as I usually am will discover I have another side, a better and finer side. I'm afraid they'll mock me, think I'm ridiculous and sentimental and not take me seriously. I'm used to not being taken seriously, but only the 'light-hearted' Anne is used to it and can put up with it; the 'deeper' Anne is too weak.
Anne Frank
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 schoolgirl.
Anne Frank
The final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands.
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... I want to go on living even after my death!
Anne Frank
