“I’m going to have the daintiest things possible. . . things that will match the spring, you understand. . .little jelly tarts and lady fingers, and drop cookies frosted with pink and yellow icing, and buttercup cake.”

“Mrs Lynde was complaining the other day that it wasn’t much of a world. She said whenever you looked forward to anything pleasant you were sure to be more or less disappointed… that nothing ever came up to your expectations. Well, perhaps that is true. But there is a good side to it too. The bad things don’t always come up to your expectations either… they nearly always turn out ever so much better than you think.”

“Lo que quiero conseguir del curso en la universidad es algún conocimiento sobre la mejor manera de vivir la vida y sacarle el máximo y mejor provecho. Quiero aprender para entender y ayudar a otra gente y a mí misma. (...) Ese es el fin que debe tener la universidad, en lugar de producir un montón de licenciados y graduados, tan atragantados de libros y vanidad que no les queda sitio para otra cosa.”

“—[...] ¿Por qué tú no te casas, Marilla? Quiero saber. El hecho de ser soltera nunca había apenado a Marilla, de modo que después de un cambio de significativas miradas con Ana, respondió. —Pero quizá tú nunca le pediste a nadie que te quisiera —protestó Davy. —Oh, Davy —dijo Dora puntillosamente, metiéndose en la conversación—, es el hombre quien debe pedirlo. —No sé por qué debe hacerlo siempre —gruñó el niño—. Me parece que en este mundo todo se le carga al hombre.”

“The owner comes back, makes tea for them and says, 'I'm sorry I only have bread, butter, and cucumbers,' but Anne and Diana are so starving that the bread, butter, and cucumbers taste delicious. And it really does sound delicious. I don't know that much about Anne of Green Gables, or about novels in general, but that scene really stands out for me, the way it describes how wonderful the food tasted... Especially the way it describes the joy of eating." "You may well be right." "I thought about this a lot and I believe that the cucumbers mentioned may have been pickled. Though other translations of the book only say it's bread, butter, and cucumbers. But I can't picture them crunching on fresh cucumbers... So anyway, that's how I came up with my own version, which is this. Bread, butter, and cucumber sandwiches. That seemed a bit inadequate, though, so I also made roast chicken sandwiches. I think they must have eaten those as well.”
