More quotes by Douglas Coupland
Question: If there were two of you which one would win?
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
Lottery tickets are a surtax on desperation.
Douglas Coupland
My writing process is ritualized and monotonous, but there's no other way to get the job done. All other fiction writers I've met say the same thing.
Douglas Coupland
HISTORICAL SLUMMING: the act of visiting locations such as diners, smokestack industrial sites, rural villageslocations where time appears to have been frozen many years backso as to experience relief when one returns back to'the present'.

You guys just wait and see. We'll stand taller than these mountains. We'll bare open our hearts for the world to grab. We'll see lights where there was dimness. We'll testify together to what we have seen and felt. Life will go on--all of us--crawling stumbling, falling perhaps. But we will be the strong ones. Our hearts will shine brightly.
Douglas Coupland

Douglas Coupland
And then sometimes I think the people to feel saddest for are people who once knew what profoundness was, but who lost or became numb to the sensation of wonder – people who closed the doors that leads us into the secret world – or who had the doors closed for them by time and neglect and decisions made in times of weakness.
Douglas Coupland
Telling people they look relaxed makes them look relaxed.
Douglas Coupland
It'd be preposterous for me to propose a universal cure to loneliness but I will say that people who do the things they find interesting, either creatively or vocationally, tend to become unlonely very quickly.
Douglas Coupland
You know what the best thing is about the end of the day? Tomorrow, it starts all over again.
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.
Douglas Coupland
With the first drink comes the truth, with the second drink comes wishful thinking, and with the third drink come the lies.
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
Good looking people with strong, fluoridated teeth get things handed to them on platters.
Douglas Coupland
Make your goals big and broad enough so that they never become answered prayers and boomerang to curse you.
Douglas Coupland
I think of how people can betray me simply by not caring enough to hide the fact of how little they care.I think of how the person who needs the other person the least in a relationship is the stronger member.
Douglas Coupland
Nobody cares about worthiness. People care about what is real inside of you.
Douglas Coupland
What surprises me about humanity is that in the end such a narrow range of plights defines our moral lives.
Douglas Coupland
I like the present. I'm always interested in new ideas, and what's happening. I'm not nostalgic.
