ANNE'S VOICE: Mr. Dussel wants to get back to his dentist's drill. He's afraid he's losing his touch. (1.4)
Actually, Mr. Dussel's probably more afraid he'll never get to be a dentist again.

ANNE: I'm a terrible coward… I think I've conquered my fear… I think I'm really grown up… and then something happens… and I run to you like a baby. (1.4)
Anne's confession to her father about being afraid of the Nazis has us almost in tears. Conquering our fears is just one of the ways we have to grow up. Hers seems singularly understandable, though.

ANNE: If we begin thinking of all the horror in the world, we're lost! We're trying to hold on to some kind of ideals… when everything… ideals, hopes… everything, are being destroyed. (2.1)
Anne's right. Stay positive, even when things are looking terminal; otherwise there's no hope left for anyone. It's a difficult situation, given the crisis she's referring to is WWII.
