Anne Frank: 7 Powerful Quotes from The Diary of a Young Girl

The book is a collection of writings from the Dutch-language diary kept by Anne Frank while she was in hiding for two years with her family during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands.

“It's a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them because, despite everything, I still believe that people are good at heart.”

“Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands.”

“As long as this exists, this sunshine and this cloudless sky, and as long as I can enjoy it, how can I be sad?”

“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!”

“You can be lonely even when you are loved by many people since you are still not anybody's one and only.”

“Although I'm only fourteen, I know quite well what I want, I know who is right and who is wrong. I have my opinions, my ideas and principles, and although it may sound pretty mad from an adolescent, I feel more of a person than a child, I feel quite independent of anyone.”

“How wonderful it is that nobody needs to wait a single moment before starting to improve the world."
