"I haven't written for a few days, because I wanted first of all to think about my diary." "But it's the same with all my friends, just fun and joking, nothing more." "It's an odd idea for someone like me to keep a diary; not only because I have never done so before, but because it seems to me that neither I—nor anyone else—will be interested in the unbosomings of a thirteen-year-old schoolgirl." "I want to write, but more than that, I want to bring out all kinds of things that lie buried deep in my heart."
