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.

We’re all alive, but we don’t know why or what for; we’re all searching for happiness; we’re all leading lives which are different and yet the same.

The weak fall, but the strong will remain and never go under!

Ordinary people simply don't know what books mean to us, shut up here. Reading, learning, and the radio are our amusements.

I think a lot, but I don't say much.

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

No one has ever become poor by giving.
