Ashley’s Reviews > Anne Frank's Diary: The Graphic Adaptation > Status Update

“There’s a destructive urge in people, the urge to rage, murder, and kill. And until all of humanity, w/o exception, undergoes a metamorphosis, wars will continue to be waged, and everything that has been carefully built up, cultivated, & grown will be cut down & destroyed, only to start all over again.”

“So much comes into my head at night, when I’m alone, or during the day, when I’m obliged to put up with people I can’t abide or who invariably misinterpret my intentions.”

“I can’t let them see my doubts, or the wounds they’ve inflicted on me. I couldn’t bear their sympathy or their good-humored derision. It would only make me want to scream even more.”

“I have no desire to be modest and retiring. In my experience, you get a lot further by being pushy! Don’t be modest and retiring, Anne. It will get you nowhere.”
