P119 " 'And everywhere / The cremony of innocence is drowned...' Ah, that's my favorite line. don't you think? Innocence is nothing but a ceremony, after all. So strange you people venerate it the way you do. What other world celebrates not knowing anything about how life really works?" 之前學過葉慈的The Second Coming,現在看特別有感
P302 All that stuff is true. All the other worlds that human beings believe in, via group myths or spiritual visitation of even imaginations if they're vivid enough, they exist. Imagining a world creates it, if it isn't already there. That's the great secret of existence: it's superensitive to thought.
Decisions, wishes, lies-- that's all you need to create a new universe. Every human being on this planet spins off thousands between birth and death, although there's something about the way our minds work that keep us from noticing.In every moment, we're constantly moving in multiple dimensions
--We think we're sitting still, but we actually falling from one universe to the next to the next, so fast that it all blends together, like animation. Except there's a lot more that just images flipping past.
看推薦文說這是本Speculative fiction,所以就去查Speculative fiction是甚麼

我喜歡這本書的背景設定,所有城市擬人化然後各有各的個性。而對於多元宇宙的闡述就是:每做一個決定、一次奇想、許一個願望都會產生新的世界,這世界就像動畫一樣快速翻動著,人們以為在原地打轉,其實正朝著一個個宇宙墜落。
