She has a desire for beauty and nature, and writes that people should recapture happiness.

Thursday, 16 March, 1944
The weather is lovely. Anne is more restless than Peter because he has his own room and she does not. She has closed up in order to maintain her outward calm while desire and common sense wage war inside her. She wonders how someone so quiet could like her noisiness, and wonders if their mutual pity will turn to love.
Friday, 17 March, 1944
Their hosts are better and they are relieved. Margot and Anne are tiring of their parents' strictness. The family structure is disintegrating, largely due to the fact that Anne and Margot are still treated as children. Anne feels independent and superior over Mummy because she does not exaggerate, is not prejudiced, and is more precise.

Anne admits that this is the first Saturday in the Secret Annex that hasn’t been dreary, dull, and long. The reason: Peter.
Mr. van Daan teases her, asking if he can trust her up there in the attic with Peter alone. She answers, "Of course!"
