I wonder if anyone can ever succeed in making their children content.
There's something happening everyday, but I'm too tired and lazy to write it all down.
I want to go on living after my death!
but i've slammed the door to my inner self; if he ever wants to force the lock again, he'll have to use a harder crowbar!
I... keep trying to find a way to become what I'd like to be and what I could be if... if only there were no other people in the world.
Looking back, I realize that this period of my life has irrevocably come to a close; my happy-go-lucky, carefree schooldays are gone forever. I don't even miss them. I've outgrown them. I can no longer just kid around, since my serious side is always there.
Ordinary people don't know how much books can mean to someone who's cooped up.
I looked up in the sky and trusted in God.
I don't dare do anything anymore, 'cause I'm afraid it's not allowed.
It won't take long before I explode with pent-up rage.
Misfortunes never come singly.
I must work, so as not to be a fool, to get on, to become a journalist, because that's what I want!... I can't imagine that I would have to lead the same sort of life as Mummyand all the women who do their work and are then forgotten. I must have something besides a husband and children, something that I can devote myself to!
I've reached the point where I hardly care whether I live or die. The world will keep on turning without me, I can't do anything to change events anyway.
Sympathy, Love, Fortune... We all have these qualities but still tend to not use them!
