Anne Frank's diary as a tattoo on the back of a prisoner

    This same quote from Frank's diary is one that I remember identifying with when I read the book.  A prisoner in for armed robbery and keeplocked for extorting other inmates, had tattooed down his back these lines of Anne Frank's translated into Spanish:

"When everybody starts hovering over me, I get cross, then sad, and finally end up turning my heart inside out, the bad part on the outside and the good part on the inside, and keep trying to find a way to become what I'd like to be and what I could be if...if only there were no other people in the world."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Isn't that the basic problem we all face?  And how to get the good back on the outside for more of the people in this world..."
