I've found that there is always some beauty left-in nature, sunshine, freedom, in yourself; these can all help you. Look at these things, then you find yourself again, and God, and then you regain your balance. And whoever is happy will make others happy too. He who has courage and faith will never perish in misery!

What I condemn are our system of values and the men who don't acknowledge how great, difficult, but ultimately beautiful women's share in society is.

Where there's hope, there's life. It fills us with fresh courage and makes us strong again.

What's done can't be undone, but at least you can keep it from happening again.

I can shake off everything as I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn.

How lovely to think that no one need wait a moment, we can start now, start slowly changing the world!

Looking back, I realize that this period of my life has irrevocably come to a close; my happy-go-lucky, carefree schooldays are gone forever. I don't even miss them. I've outgrown them. I can no longer just kid around, since my serious side is always there.
