Women should be respected as well! Generally speaking$$$ men are held in great esteem in all parts of the world$$$ so why shouldn't women have their share? Soldiers and war heroes are honored and commemorated$$$ explorers are granted immortal fame$$$ martyrs are revered$$$ but how many people look upon women too as soldiers?...Women$$$ who struggle and suffer pain to ensure the continuation of the human race$$$ make much tougher and more courageous soldiers than all those big-mouthed freedom-fighting heroes put together!

I think it's odd that grown-ups quarrel so easily and so often and about such petty matters. Up to now I always thought bickering was just something children did and that they outgrew it.

It is becoming a bad dream-- in the daytime as well as at night. I see him nearly all the time and can't get at him$$$ I mustn't show anything$$$ must remain gay while I'm really in despair.

There is a saying that$$$ paper is more patient than man.

I've reached the point where I hardly care whether I live or die. The world will keep on turning without me$$$ I can't do anything to change events anyway.

Misfortunes never come singly.

Little bundle of contradictions

Who else but me is ever going to read these letters?

In the book Soldiers on the Home Front$$$ I was greatly struck by the fact that in childbirth alone$$$ women commonly suffer more pain$$$ illness and misery than any war hero ever does. An what's her reward for enduring all that pain? She gets pushed aside when she's disfigured by birth$$$ her children soon leave$$$ hear beauty is gone. Women$$$ who struggle and suffer pain to ensure the continuation of the human race$$$ make much tougher and more courageous soldiers than all those big-mouthed freedom-fighting heroes put together.

Sleep makes the silence and the terrible fear go by more quickly$$$ helps pass the time$$$ since it's impossible to kill.
