Kate DiCamillo

Open your heart. Someone will come. Someone will come for you. But first you must open your heart.

You must be filled with expectancy. You must be awash in hope. You must wonder who will love you, whom you will love next.

Once, in a house on Egypt Street, there lived a rabbit who was made almost entirely of china.

And as he sat there, his heart, which had been heavy, grew light. He thought, I have a new life ahead of me.

I have loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough.

But if you open up and allow yourself to love, you can't control who comes in.

The heart is a deeply strange thing. It can be warm and comforting one minute, and cold as ice the next.

You must be patient, Edward. You must be brave. You must be strong. For you are not alone.

For Edward, adventure was nothing but a series of inconveniences, and the best thing about it was that it came to an end.

It is a happy talent to know how to play.

What is within is more than without.

You have to get used to things being a certain way and then, all of a sudden, everything changes.
