Character: Amy March

- Colleagues, listen up! Offer you "the story of a pumpkin", Mr. Tupman.
- Do not read.
- Bet it's not a story, this is a recipe!
- The first rule of writers do not write about...
- You know...
- Gentlemen of the press, hear, hear! I call to your attention... Our Mr. Tupman''s "The History of the Squash".
- Oh, don't read mine.
- Beth, this isn't a story. It's a recipe!
- Oh, dear, I never know what to write.
- First rule of writing, Mr. Tupman, is never write what you know.

The dreaded school! Spelling is awful, and the Latin is absurd.
Mr. Davis said that to teach a woman still trying to teach a cat...
- I'm going to strangle Mr. Davis!..
- "Mr. Davis... By what right do you beat children? In the eyes of God we are all children, and therefore equal. If you hit and humiliate a child, he will learn only to beat and humiliate".
- It's an appalling school. Your spelling''s atrocious. Your Latin is absurd.
- Mr. Davis said it was as useful to educate a woman as a cat...
- I'll strangle Mr. Davis!..
- "Mr. Davis... What right have you to strike a child? In God's eyes we are all children. If you hit and humiliate a child, the only lesson she will learn is to hit and humiliate".

Something with the father?
Teacher hit me and threw crayons in the snow... Mae Chester said I stole crayons from a mission, and I said that I won't give any. And she told Mr. Davis that they're in my Desk... it came true...
- Need to beat him with his own cane!
- Joe! To resort to violence is impossible... I will write him a letter.
- That he was frightened.
- Is it father?
- Teacher struck me. He put the limes out into the snow... May Chester said my limes were for the homeless. So I said she wouldn't get any from me. So she told Mr. Davis they were in my desk, and he struck me.
- I'll beat the tar out of him!
- Jo, we must not embrace violence... I will write him a letter.
- That'll show him.

Look on the bright underside of every cloud.

The fact that they are vile, doesn't mean I have to be the same as them. And although I believe I have every right to be offended, I'm not going to show it. This behavior will make them more impressed than angry words and the response is, isn't it?
- Yes, it's absolutely the right approach, darling. It is always better to respond with a kiss back.

How wonderful to have the opportunity to help others, right?

Meg, why should I go to school? I so degraded.

It's just unfair that some girls is full of beautiful things, and others nothing.
