As long as you can look fearlessly at the sky, you'll know that you're pure within and will find happiness once more. - 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.

but i've slammed the door to my inner self; if he ever wants to force the lock again, he'll have to use a harder crowbar!

Let's not talk about it any more, but if you still want anything please write to me about it, because I can say what I mean much better on paper.
