I have never been told "happy birthday" as often as I was this year. You'd think I was turning eight instead of forty-three. Thanks everyone for your well-wishes!

It's difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.

—Anne Frank
