Some of her more famous quotes include:
“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.”
“I know what I want, I have a goal, an opinion, I have a religion and love. Let me be myself and then I am satisfied. I know that I’m a woman, a woman with inward strength and plenty of courage.”
“Women should be respected as well! Generally speaking, men are held in great esteem in all parts of the world, so why shouldn’t women have their share? Soldiers and war heroes are honored and commemorated, explorers are granted immortal fame, martyrs are revered, but how many people look upon women too as soldiers?”
In addition to her diary, Anne filled a notebook with quotes from her favourite authors, original stories and the beginnings of a novel about her time in the secret annex.
