“How lovely to think that no one need wait a moment, we can start now, start slowly changing the world!”

It must be awful to feel you’re not needed.

Our lives are fashioned by our choices. First we make our choices. Then our choices make us.

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.

Women, who struggle and suffer pain to ensure the continuation of the human race, make much tougher and more courageous soldiers than all those big-mouthed freedom-fighting heroes put together!

In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.

Whenever you’re feeling lonely or sad, try going to the loft on a beautiful day and looking outside.

I simply can’t build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death.

I have often been downcast, but never in despair.

We can’t control our destiny, but we can control who we become.

I live in a crazy time.

I live in a crazy time.

Crying can bring relief, as long as you don’t cry alone.

I can shake off everything as I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn.

I’ve found that there is always some beauty left – in nature, sunshine, freedom, in yourself; these can all help you.

Memories mean more to me than dresses.

I must uphold my ideals, for perhaps the time will come when I shall be able to carry them out.
