Anna Freud

"Why do we go around acting as though everything was friendship and reliability when basically everything everywhere is full of sudden hate and ugliness?"

"We live trapped, between the churned-up and examined past and a future that waits for our work."

"My different personalities leave me in peace now."

"I was always looking outside myself for strength and confidence but it comes from within. It is there all the time."

"Papa always makes it clear that he would like to know me as much more rational and lucid than the girls and women he gets to know during his analytic hours."
