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 Have Often Been Downcast, But Never In Despair; I Regard Our Hiding As A Dangerous Adventure, Romantic And Interesting At The Same Time. In My Diary I Treat All The Privations As Amusing. I Have Made Up My Mind Now To Lead A Different Life From Other Girls And, Later On, Different From Ordinary Housewives. My Start Has Been So Very Full Of Interest, And That Is The Sole Reason Why I Have To Laugh At The Humorous Side Of The Most Dangerous Moments.

The Best Remedy For Those Who Are Afraid, Lonely Or Unhappy Is To Go Outside, Somewhere Where They Can Be Quiet, Alone With The Heavens, Nature And God. Because Only Then Does One Feel That All Is As It Should Be And That God Wishes To See People Happy, Amidst The Simple Beauty Of Nature. As Long As This Exists, And It Certainly Always Will, I Know That Then There Will Always Be Comfort For Every Sorrow, Whatever The Circumstances May Be. And I Firmly Believe That Nature Brings Solace In All Troubles.
