More quotes by Douglas Coupland
Everyone has a special place they store their tension (I'm on shiatsu duty), the same way everyone misspells the same words over and over. Karla stores her tension in her rhomboid muscles, and I remove it. This is making me feel good. That I can do this.

Douglas Coupland
Forget about being world famous, it's hard enough just getting the automatic doors at the supermarket to acknowledge our existence.
Douglas Coupland
I find it hard to believe that human beings are the crowning achievement of life on earth. Something better than us has to come along.
Douglas Coupland
There's nothing cute or funny or lovable about being cheap. It's a total turn-off.
Douglas Coupland
I kind of wonder if creativity is all morphing into one big thing that's not even art, but something universal and bigger.
Douglas Coupland
What's a bar bill but a surtax on reality?
Douglas Coupland
Christmas makes everything twice as sad.
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
Fondue sets, martini shakers and juicing machines: three things the world could live completely without.

NOSTALGIA IS A WEAPON
Douglas Coupland
I like the present. I'm always interested in new ideas, and what's happening. I'm not nostalgic.
