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!

I love you, with a love so great that it simply couldn't keep growing inside my heart, but had to leap out and reveal itself in all its magnitude.

Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally. Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.

If God lets me live, I shall attain more than Mummy ever has done, I shall not remain insignificant, I shall work in the world and for mankind!

I'm sentimental--I know. I'm desperate and silly--I know that too. Oh, help me!

One gets on better in life if one is not over modest.

Sleep makes the silence and the terrible fear go by more quickly, helps pass the time, since it's impossible to kill.
