Douglas Coupland
New York is a theme park for people with IQs over 108.
Douglas Coupland
I think that every reader on earth has a list of cherished books as unique as their fingerprints... I think that, as you age, you tend to gravitate towards the classics, but those aren't the books that give you the same sort of hope for the world that a cherished book does.
Douglas Coupland
I think, there are people for whom freedom is a bigger, more important thing than stability.
Douglas Coupland
Nobody believes the identities we've made for ourselves. I feel like everybody in the world is fake now - as though people had true cores once, but hucked them away and replaced them with something more attractive but also hollow.
Douglas Coupland
You know what the best thing is about the end of the day? Tomorrow, it starts all over again.
