"How can a story end happily if there is no love? All his life, Edward had known what he was: a rabbit made of china, a rabbit with bendable arms and legs and ears. He was bendable, though, only if he was in the hands of another. He could not move himself. And he had never regretted this more deeply "
""Who am I? I'm Ernest, Ernest who is king of the world. How can I be king of the world? Because I am king of garbages. And garbages is what the world is made of."
""The end?" said Abilene indignantly. "Yes," said Pellegrina, "the end." "But it can't be." "Why can't it be?" "Because it came too quickly. Because no one is living happily ever after, that's why." "Ah, and so." Pellegrina nodded. She was quiet for a moment. "But answer me this: how can a story end "
""What's the point of him then?" said Martin. "The point is that he is Edward," said Abilene. --p40"
""Have you ever in your life seen anything so fine?" she said. "Edward felt immediately that Nellie was a very discerning woman. --p65"
"And Edward was surprised to discover that he was listening. Before, when Abilene talked to him, everything had seemed so boring, so pointless. But now, the stories Nellie told struck him at the most important thing in the world and he listened as if his life depended on what she said. --p71"
"Why? he asked her. Why do I disappoint you? But he knew the answer to that question, too. It was because he had not loved Abilene enough. And now she was gone from him. And he would never be able to make it right. --85"

“You must be filled with expectancy. You must be awash in hope. You must wonder who will love you, whom you will love next.”“Open your heart. Someone will come. Someone will come for you. But first you must open your heart.”

2014看来自星星的你的时候,还在飞机上用无线网追剧。儿子那时才2岁不到。现在他6岁了。我在车上放有声书CD,车开到家了,故事还有一点点没听完,他问,妈妈, can we finish it?我说好。他忙从安全椅爬下来,坐在副驾的位置,把耳朵凑上车喇叭边。故事结束的时候,他长长叹了口气:这个结局真是太好了... 妈妈,我好喜欢这个电影。我笑,这是耳朵听的有声书,电影是眼睛可以看到的。儿子说,但是我们可以用想象力看,不是吗?
