In the north-east, huge mountains of clouds could be seen, and in the air, fresh and sweet, there was the smell of a promised downpour.

| Extraxt-4 “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear — but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can also be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.

My heart pounded as I looked down at my compass — I couldn’t believe my eyes: the needle was spinning round and round, useless. It was dead. The other instruments — the altimeter, the speed indicator — had suddenly stopped working too. I gripped the controls tighter and tried the radio: ‘Paris Control? Paris Control?

| Extraxt-8 “Let me put it more clearly, since no one will believe that a thirteen-year-old girl is completely alone in the world. And I’m not.

But I feel as if I don’t have what I’d most like to have: a real friend. I can talk about ordinary everyday things with anyone, but I can’t share my inner feelings with anyone, and that’s why I’ve started the diary.
