"It really is a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out Yet, I keep them, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.

I simply can’t build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery and death. I see the world gradually begin turned into wilderness; I hear the ever-approaching thunder, which will destroy us too; I can feel the suffering of millions, and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come out right that is, cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquility will return again.

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

Anne Frank (Diary, July 15, 1944)
