 After many decades of cultural saturation, kits themselves have begun to feed themselves back into the constructed world -- to the point where it's hard to tell where their influence begins and ends. |

| Everyone has a gripping stranger in their lives, Andy, a stranger who unwittingly possesses a bizarre hold over you. Maybe it's the kid in cut-offs who mows your lawn or the woman wearing white shoulders who stamps your book at the library - a stranger who, if you were to come home and find a message from them on your answering machine saying, "Drop everything. I love you. Come away with me now to Florida," you'd follow them. |
| High school is such a shared experience in North American culture. |
| I think the killers get far too much attention. |
| If someone decides to be a musician now, it means because there is no hope of money at the end of it, it means they really want to be a musician. And if someone is writing now, there is no hope for money at the end of it. |
| It was like those stories you read of small villages where dinner was on the table and everyone just vanished. |
| Tell me you feel this fire |
| The ideal is that someone comes in here and they can't make a direct attribution to any one person. They can't say, 'That's a Doug thing', or 'That's a Graham thing'. In a weird way, if that happens we've failed. |
| We decided that the French could never write user-friendly software because they're so rude. |
| We went from being boring little Canada to a sexy country of sin overnight? We are not used to being trendy or hip. |
| You fear that if you lower your guard for even one second your whole world will disintegrate into chaos |
| You pretend to be more eccentric than you actually are because you fear you are an interchangeable cog |
| You wait for fate to bring about the changes in life which you should be bringing about by yourself |
| Your ability to rationalize your own bad deeds makes you believe that the whole world is as amoral as you are |
