'When I write I can shake off all my cares. My sorrow disappears, my spirits are revived! But, and that's a big question, will I ever write be able to write something great, will I ever become a journalist or a writer? I hope so, oh I hope so very much, because writing allows me to record everything, all my thoughts, ideals and fantasies.' wrote Anne Frank in her diary 5 April 1944.
