The diary of a Young Girl: Anne Frank

Det tog lång tid att läsa, även om det bara var drygt 300 sidor. Men varför det tog lång tid att läsa var inte för att den varr på engelska eller svår text - det var för att jag ville verkligen läsa och förstå.

Det är svårt att tro att det är en 13-15 åring som skriver för tankarna är så... genomtänkta. Anne Frank var otrolig på att skriva.



"Because paper has more patience than people. "

"No one has ever become poor by giving."

"The final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands."

"People who have a religion should be glad, for not everyone has the gift of believing in heavenly things. You don't necessarily even have to be afraid of punishment after death; purgatory, hell, and heaven are things that a lot of people can't accept, but still a religion, it doesn't matter which, keeps a person on the right path. It isn't the fear of God but the upholding of one's own honor and conscience. How noble and good everyone could be if, every evening before falling asleep, they were to recall to their minds the events of the while day and consider exactly what has been good and bad. Then, without realizing it you try to improve yourself at the start of each new day; of course, you achieve quite a lot in the course of time. Anyone can do this, it costs nothing and is certainly very helpful. Whoever doesn't know it must learn and find by experience that: "A quiet conscience mades one strong!"

"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 neve met. I want to go on living even after my death!"

- And she certainly has.
