Anne Frank

I want friends, not admirers. People who respect me for my character and my deeds, not my flattering smile. The circle around me would be much smaller, but what does that matter, as long as they’re sincere?

Anne Frank

I want to see the world and do all kinds of exciting things, and a little money won’t hurt.

Anne Frank

I want to write, but more than that, I want to bring out all kinds of things that lie buried deep in my heart.

I wonder if anyone can ever succeed in making their children content.

Anne Frank

I’m happy when I see him, and happier still if the sun shines when we’re together

I’m my best and harshest critic. I know what’s good and what isn’t.

I’ve learned one thing now. You only really get to know people when you’ve had a jolly good row with them. Then and then only can you judge their true characters!

Anne Frank

If God lets me live, I shall attain more than Mummy ever has done, I shall not remain insignificant, I shall work in the world and for mankind!

Anne Frank

If I haven’t any talent for writing books or newspaper articles, well, then I can always write for myself.

Anne Frank

If I’m engrossed in a book, I have to rearrange my thoughts before I can mingle with other people, because otherwise they might think I was strange.
