I do my best to please everybody, far more than they'd ever guess. I try to laugh it all off, because I don't want to let them see my trouble.
Anne FrankYou can get around to meaningful conversations more quickly in the dark than with the sun tickling your face.
Anne FrankI simply can't build my hopes on a foundation of confusion, misery and death... I think... peace and tranquillity will return again.
Anne FrankUp till now I always thought bickering was just something children did and they outgrew it. Of course, there's sometimes a reason to have a 'real' quarrel, but the verbal exchanges that take place here are just plain bickering. I should be used to the fact that these squabbles are daily occurrences, but I'm not and never will be as long as I'm the subject of nearly every discussion. (They refer to these as 'discussions instead of 'quarrels', but Germans don't know the difference!)
