“The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or
unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quite alone with the
heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it
should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of
nature. As longs as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then
there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may
be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all
troubles.”—German-Dutch Holocaust victim Anne Frank (1929-1945), journal entry
for Feb. 23, 1944,
The Diary of a Young Girl (1952)
