Quote #7
[…] and then thinking that Anne Frank, after all, kissed someone in the Anne Frank House, and that she would probably like nothing more than for her home to have become a place where the young and irreparably broken sink into live. (12.185)
There's nothing more romantic than sharing your first kiss in a place where a bunch of people were hiding from Nazis. The hardships faced by Anne and Hazel are apples and oranges, but both girls are able to find moments of joy in an otherwise desperate existence.
Quote #8
[…] and only now that I loved a grenade did I understand the foolishness of trying to save others from my own impending fragmentation: I couldn't unlove Augustus Waters. And I didn't want to. (13.34)
Maybe Hazel is a grenade. But finally she realizes that it doesn't matter. When you love someone, they could be any sort of weapon and you'd still love them.
