You have to become worthy of your destiny.

但這種雨點打在窗上的狀態，缺少一個能在黑暗裡一起分享的人。一個芬恩，但這個芬恩不會把所有需求都堆在她身上，也不會每隔一會兒就想從她那裡索取。不管是牛奶、奶油，還是冷凍庫裡的肉。她再也承受不了那些了。然而今晚，她仍想要感受另一個人與自己共同存在的重量。

It was also scary the way Dad had sung that song. The one that went: We are such stuff as dreams are made on, vast empty space. He liked to sing it in the car at evening on the way to or from the workshop, Gunn in the back seat, Dad up front amid the smell of varnish. How we could be made of empty stuff was enough to keep you up at night

Gunn promised they’d go star-gazing when she got back from the Institute. Jenny, for her part, insisted she would teach Gunn how to shoot. Which revealed that she didn’t fully understand the logic of politeness in social situations, and every time you meet a person you end up exchanging oven dishes, Gunn thought. Except for Krista. Hell would freeze over before her dishes ended up in someone else’s dishwasher.

It’s my job to gather, to document, to interpret, she thought. And if you’re allowed to take pictures of me when I’m on a walk in the woods, Krista, then I’m allowed to carry out a sort of counter-espionage against your sensitive trees. Anyway, surely it can’t be legal to mine an area with surveillance technology.

LET THE WEIRD children come to me. Let the children whose parents are ashamed of them come to me. The ones with the spineless dads, the needy mums? Just let them come. And let the offspring of bad relationships trickle in.
讓古怪的孩子到我這裡來。讓父母以他們為恥的孩子到我這裡來。那些父親沒骨氣、母親需索無度的孩子？讓他們來吧。

幾個謎團
1.牌子：出售
2.星宿四？
3.位移？displacement
4.唾液

克莉絲塔是否也經歷過這樣一個血月的早晨？
她是否曾擁有能與人共享的現實？讓我們走上人生不同道路的，難道只是我們問了哪些問題、得到了哪些答案？
有人伸手過來，看見你，向你解釋。看見你的潛能，帶你看一扇原來不知自己能穿過的門。還有回應。我至少每次都回應了，岡恩想。

你再聰明，若沒有行動自由，又有什麼用？他出身於一個有調光開關、秩序一絲不苟、又頗有向上攀爬傾向的家。然而除此之外，他的家庭也是岡恩那位凝態物理學家同事口中的「受挫磁體」：內部彼此牴觸，對男孩發展個人的方向感毫無興趣。

到了三點十分左右，終於奏效的想像是：她躺在阿波羅十一號「哥倫比亞」指令艙的沙發床上，世界的訊號規律地消失，她在巨大沉默中滑行四十七分鐘。被帶入虛無，在最深的信任中入睡。
