• Otto Frank : We don't need the Nazis to destroy us. We're destroying ourselves.

• Otto Frank : For the past two years we have lived in fear. Now we can live in hope.

• Otto Frank : Always remember this Anna, there are no walls, no bolts, no locks that anyone can put on your mind.

• Otto Frank : [to Anne]  Being here has certain advantages for you. Now for instance, you remember that battle you had with your mother the other day on the subject of overshoes? You said you would rather die than wear overshoes, remember? And what happened? In the end you had to wear them. Now, you see, for as long as we are here, you won't have to wear overshoes, isn't that great? And the piano. You won't have to practice on the piano. I tell you, this is going to be a fine life for you.
