Douglas Coupland
I curled myself into a ball and cried quietly, doing that thing that only young people can do, namely, feeling sorry for myself. Once you're past thirty you lose that ability instead of feeling sorry for yourself you turn bitter.

Inasmuch as I am a spiritual man, I do believe in God - I think that He created an order for the world I believe that, in constantly bombarding Him with requests for miracles, we're also asking that He unravel the fabric of the world. A world of continuous miracles would be a cartoon, not a world.
Douglas Coupland

And in your new lives you'll have to live entirely for that one sensation-that of imminent truth. And you're going to have to holler for it, steal for it, beg for it-and you're never to stop asking questions about it twenty-four hours a day, the rest of your life.
Douglas Coupland

And you wonder if you can ever be what it is you really are. Or you wonder if it's too late to find out.
Douglas Coupland
The heart of a man is like deep water
