Quotes
-
Anne Frank : When we're liberated I'm going to get all the paper I can find and start my stories over again. Did I tell you I was working on a novel?
Peter van Pels : No. I don't think so.
Anne Frank : Well I was. I didn't know how to finish it but now I do. I can't wait to get started again. It's going to be a romance, but not sentimental, mind you. I've grown too old for that. Do you remember how you told me once, how you were ashamed of being Jewish?
Peter van Pels : Mm-hmm. The chosen people. Chosen for what? This?
Anne Frank : We've suffered before and it's only made us stronger. One day people will look up to us.
Peter van Pels : If there are any of us left.
Anne Frank : I used to take so much for granted, like the sky. Do you see those stars? We had a club called The Little Dipper once. Jacque, Hannah, Sanne, and me, one star for each of us.
Peter van Pels : And which one were you?
Anne Frank : That one.
[Anne points to a star]
Peter van Pels : Mm-hmm. Well, I should've known.
[Peter puts his arm around Anne and Anne leans her head on his shoulder]

Anne Frank : [about his father] I think it's beastly the way he treats you.
Peter van Pels : Oh, don't mind him. He gets like that when he hasn't had his cigarettes.
Anne Frank : [laughs]
Peter van Pels : I like it when you smile.
Anne Frank : Really?
Peter van Pels : It makes your eyes... sparkle. Pretty eyes.
Anne Frank : Oh no. I'm not pretty.
Peter van Pels : Yes you are.
Anne Frank : No, I'm not!
Peter van Pels : Well, you'll just have to believe me then.
