More From Anne Frank

The books in mo and meggie's house were stacked under tables, on chairs, in the corners of the rooms. there where books in the kitchen and books in the lavatory. books on the tv set and in the closet, small piles of books, tall piles of books, books thick and thin, books old and new. they welcomed meggie down to breakfast with invitingly opened pages; they kept boredom at bay when the weather was bad. and sometimes you fall over them.
Book Fall Weather
I am a product of endless books. my father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them. there were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled as high as my shoulder in the cistern attic...in the seemingly endless rainy afternoons i took volume after volume from the shelves. i had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.

The difference between ordinary and extra-ordinary is so often just simply that little word - extra. and for me, i had always grown up with the belief that if someone succeeds it is because they are brilliant or talented or just better than me... and the more of these words i heard the smaller i always felt! but the truth is often very different... and for me to learn that ordinary me can achieve something extra-ordinary by giving that little bit extra, when everyone else gives up, meant the world to me and i really clung to it.
Giving Up Differences Ordinary
Just because you’ve only been alive for fifteen years doesn’t mean you’re less anything except old. that’s all it means. it doesn’t mean you’re less experienced. it doesn’t mean you’re less intelligent. it doesn’t mean you’re less sensitive. it doesn’t mean you take things less seriously. it’s like, these are younger human beings, meaning don’t, because they’re only ten, start thinking that they don’t know what you’re talking about -because they do. don’t leave people out in the cold, and don’t talk down to people -don’t. it never works out.
Mean Thinking Intelligent
I disregard the proportions, the measures, the tempo of the ordinary world. i refuse to live in the ordinary world as ordinary women. to enter ordinary relationships. i want ecstasy. i am a neurotic — in the sense that i live in my world. i will not adjust myself to the world. i am adjusted to myself.
Ordinary World Want Proportion
Books are special, books are the way we talk to generations that have not turned up yet. the fact that we can actually, essentially communicate with the people in ancient egypt, people in rome and greece, people in ancient britain, people in new york in the 1920s who can communicate to us and change the way we think, and change the things that we believe. i think that books are special. books are sacred. and i think that when you are selling books, you have to remember that in all the profits and loss, in all of that, you are treading on sacred ground.
