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

I don't think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains....My advice is: Go outside, to the fields, enjoy nature and the sunshine, go out and try to recapture happiness in yourself and in God. Think of all the beauty that's still left in and around you and be happy!

I hid myself within myself ... and quietly wrote down all my joys, sorrows and contempt in my diary.

I... keep trying to find a way to become what I'd like to be and what I could be if... if only there were no other people in the world.

What a wonderful thought it is that some of the best days of our lives haven't even happened yet.

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 own 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 indepedent of anyone.

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