“There is a saying that ‘paper is more patient than man’…there is no doubt that paper is patient and I don’t and I don’t intend to show this cardboard-covered notebook, bearing the proud name of ‘diary’ to anyone, unless I find a real friend, boy or girl, probably nobody cares. And now I come to the root of the matter, the reason for my starting a diary: it is that I have no such real friend.” – Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl
