Tranquility in an increasingly troubled world

"I see the world being slowly transformed into a wilderness; I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too. I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more." 

Anne Frank, Born 1925. Died 1945, in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.
