That’s what I must avoid: I mustn’t put strangeness where there’s nothing. I think that is the danger of keeping a diary: you exaggerate everything, you are on the look-out, and you continually stretch the truth.
diaryquotes
Hold fast to the diary from today on! Write regularly! Don’t surrender! Even if no salvation should come, I want to be worthy of it every moment.
There is not a single line in this diary that does not call for a correction or a denial… Yes: throughout these pages I meant what I was writing and I meant the opposite; reading them again I feel completely lost… I was lying to myself. How I lied to myself!
What an odd thing a diary is: the things you omit are more important than those you put in.
