"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."
This quote reminds me that some friendships last forever. And forever is a long time.

"Life is always a rich and steady time when you are waiting for something to happen or to hatch."
This quote makes me think about all the times waiting for something to happen (the anticipation) was just as exciting, and maybe even more exciting, than the event itself.
"Wilbur didn't want food, he wanted love."
This quote makes me think about how lucky Wilbur was that Fern rescued him. He found someone who was not only willing to take care of his physical needs, but his emotional needs, as well.
"If I had been very small at birth, would you have killed me?”
This quote made me realize that Fern thinks animals are just as important as humans, and she is a very empathetic character.
