• Wilbur never forgot Charlotte. Although he loved her children and grandchildren dearly, none of the new spiders ever quite took her place in his heart. She was in a class by herself. It is not often that someone comes along who is a true friend and a good writer. Charlotte was both.

• Has sido mi amigo. Eso en sí mismo es algo tremendo. Tejí mis telarañas para ti porque me gustabas. Después de todo, ¿qué es una vida? Nacemos, vivimos un poco, morimos. La vida de una araña no puede dejar de ser un desastre, con todo esto de atrapar y comer moscas. Al ayudarte, quizá intentaba elevar un poco mi vida. Dios sabe que la vida de cualquiera puede soportar un poco de eso.

• What do you mean less than nothing? I don't think there is any such thing as less than nothing. Nothing is absolutely the limit of nothingness. It's the lowest you can go. It's the end of the line. How can something be less than nothing? If there were something that was less than nothing, then nothing would not be nothing, it would be something - even though it's just a very little bit of something. But if nothing is nothing, then nothing has nothing that is less than it is.

• Linda preguntó esa mañana qué era lo que le gustaba especialmente a Ally de La telaraña de Carlota; quizá le ayudara pensar en ello, ya que era el libro modelo de Ally. "Me gusta la familia que se reúne en el granero", dijo Ally sin dudarlo. "Me gusta que no todos sean la misma cosa; uno es humano y otro es una araña y otro es un cerdo. Me gusta que no tenga nada que ver con las relaciones de sangre, y todo que ver con el amor.

• I remember my fourth grade teacher reading 'Charlotte's Web' and 'Stuart Little' to us - both, of course, by E. B. White. His stories were genuinely funny, thought provoking and full of irony and charm. He didn't condescend to his readers, which was why I liked his books, and why I wasn't a big reader of other children's' books.
