Janey’s Reviews > The Diary of a Young Girl > Status Update

I wish I would have started taking notes earlier in reading this. Anne has such a profound mind for such a young girl. So many things she records of her thoughts and feelings resonate with me as an adult. Perhaps during a second read I will take on the task of making my own record.

“I want friends,not admirers. People who respect me for my character and deeds, not my flattering smile. The circle around me would be much smaller, but what does that matter, as long as they’re sincere?”

Wise beyond her years.
