Every single moment is a coincidence.
Douglas Coupland

what I remember is the silence in spite of the noise. In my head it might just as well have been a snowy day in the country.

Life need not be a story, but it does need to be an adventure.
Douglas Coupland

Do you remember how you felt at seventeen? I do and I don't (...) Imagine you came from outer space and someone showed you a butterfly and a caterpillar. Would you ever put the two of them together? That's me and my memories.

The world is a glorious place, and filled with so many unexpected moments that I'd get lumps in my throat, as though I were watching a bride walk down the aisle - moments as eternal and full of love as the lifting of veils, the saying of vows and the moment of the first wedded kiss.
