Quote #1
"Well, well, there's no need to cry about it."
"Yes, there is need!" The child raised her head quickly, revealing a tear-stained face and trembling lips. "You would cry, too, if you were an orphan and had come to a place you thought was going to be home and found that they didn't want you because you weren't a boy. Oh, this is the most tragical thing that ever happened to me!" (3.11-12)
You tell her, Anne. It's a little unfair of Marilla to expect Anne not to be upset when she's taking away something Anne thought she was getting, something she's never had before.
Quote #2
"There is no use in loving things if you have to be torn from them, is there? And it's so hard to keep from loving things, isn't it? That was why I was so glad when I thought I was going to live here. I thought I'd have so many things to love and nothing to hinder me." (4.32)
Because Anne loves nature and beauty, Green Gables is the ideal place for her. Also, Green Gables would be/is the first location where she hasn't been in a position of servitude. It's a location, and it's also a physical embodiment of freedom.
Quote #3
"I'm crying," said Anne in a tone of bewilderment. "I can't think why. I'm glad as glad can be. Oh glad doesn't seem the right word at all. I was glad about the White Way and the cherry blossoms—but this! Oh, it's something more than glad." (8.7)
Crying from happiness is something Anne is so unused to that she doesn't understand it. But her tears show us what a big deal moment this is.
