1 " Prowling the meanings of a word, prowling the history of a person, no use expecting a flood of light. Human words have no main switch. But all those little kidnaps in the dark.

2 " This is what happens when an outlaw kidnaps a scholar of myths and legends. "
3 " People listening to songs are like people reading novels: for a few minutes, for a few hours, someone else gets to come in and hijack that part of your brain that's always thinking.

― Douglas Coupland , Player One: What Is to Become of Us (CBC Massey Lectures)
