Douglas Coupland
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
Depression is when you have lots of love, but no one's taking.
Douglas Coupland
Nature is one great big wood-chipper. Sooner or later, everything shoots out the other end in a spray of blood, bones and hair.
Douglas Coupland
Do you ever just want to take your car out onto the highway and gun the engine as fast as you can and then close your eyes and see what happens?
Douglas Coupland
We live in an era with no historical precedents. History is no longer useful as a tool in helping us understand current changes.
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.
Douglas Coupland
I think the killers get far too much attention.
Douglas Coupland
Sometimes I think God is like weather - you may not like the weather, but it has nothing to do with you. You just happen to be there. Deal with it. Sadness and grief are part of being human and always will be.
Douglas Coupland
Every human being you see in the course of a day has a problem that's sucking up at least 70 percent of his or her radar.
