Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character and goodness.

Those who have courage and faith shall never perish in misery

Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.

In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can't build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery and death.

The Annex is an ideal place to hide in. It may be damp and lopsided, but there's probably not a more comfortable hiding place in all of Amsterdam. No, in all of Holland.

I simply can't build my hopes on a foundation of confusion, misery and death... I think... peace and tranquillity will return again.

I believe in the sun, even when it rains.
