Anne Frank

Lo estuve leyendo el libro, me faltan 2 hojas para terminarlo. Altamente recomendable. :D
Acá dejo mis citas favoritas del libro:
-“And in the evening, when I lie in bed and end my prayers with the words, ‘I thank you, God, for all that is good and clear and beautiful,’ I am filled with joy. Then I think about ‘the good’ of going into hiding, of my health and with my who being of the ‘dearness’ of Peter, of that which is still embryonic and impressionable and which we neither of us dare to name or touch, of that which will come sometime; love, the future, happiness and of ‘the beauty’ which exists in the world; the world, nature, beauty and all, all that is exquisite and fine. I don’t think then of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains…My advice is: ‘Go outside, to the fields, enjoy nature and the sunshine, go out and try to recapture happiness in yourself and in God. Think of all the beauty that’s still left in and around you and be happy!”
-"Is there anything more beautiful in the world than to sit before an open window and enjoy nature, to listen to the birds singing, feel the sun on your cheeks and have a darling boy in your arms? It is so soothing and peaceful to feel his arms around me, to know that he is close by and yet to remain silent, it cant be bad, for this tranquility is good. Oh, never to be disturbed again."
-"People who have a religion should be glad, for not everyone has the gift of believing in heavenly things. You don't necessarily even have to be afraid of punishment after death; purgatory, hell, and heaven are things that a lot of people can't accept, but still a religion, it doesn't matter which, keeps a person on the right path. It isn't the fear of God but the upholding of one's own honor and conscience. How noble and good everyone could be if, every evening before falling asleep, they were to recall to their minds the events of the while day and consider exactly what has been good and bad. Then, without realizing it you try to improve yourself at the start of each new day; of course, you achieve quite a lot in the course of time. Anyone can do this, it costs nothing and is certainly very helpful. Whoever doesn't know it must learn and find by experience that: "A quiet conscience mades one strong!"
