More quotes by Douglas Coupland
Flying dreams mean that you're doing the right thing with your life.
Douglas Coupland
I saw doves and I thought they were rocks, but they were asleep. My breath made them stir, and they rocks took flight, the earth exploding... and my only thought was that I wanted you to see them, too.
Douglas Coupland
What surprises me about humanity is that in the end such a narrow range of plights defines our moral lives.
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
I don't think anyone ever gets over anything in life they merely get used to it.
Douglas Coupland
What is human behavior, except trying to prove that we're not animals?
Douglas Coupland
Later, I would learn that coincidences are the most planned things in the world. Later, I would learn that every single moment is a coincidence.
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
I thought about how odd it is for billions of people to be alive, yet not one of them is really quite sure of what makes people people. The only activities I could think of that humans do that have no animal equivalent were smoking, body-building and writing. That's not much, considering how special we seem to think we are.
Douglas Coupland
You really have to wonder why we even bother to get up in the morning. I mean, really: Why work? Simply to buy more stuff?
Douglas Coupland
Beware of the corporate invasion of private memory.
Douglas Coupland
After my brush with the suicidal impulse, I listen with new ears to others when they speak on the subject. I think there are people who were born with that little door open, and they have to go through life knowing that they might jump through it at any moment.
Douglas Coupland
I ma trying to feel more well adjusted than I really am, which is, I guess, the human condition.
Douglas Coupland
When you grow up these days, you're told you're going to have four or five different careers during your lifetime. But what they don't tell you is that you're also going to be four or five different people along the way.
Douglas Coupland
It is indeed a mistake to confuse children with angels
Douglas Coupland
It's starts out young- you try not be different just to survive- you try to be just like everyone else- anonymity becomes reflexive- and then one day you wake up and you've become all those other people- the others- the something you aren't. 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
I used to care about how other people thought I led my life. But lately I've realized that most people are too preoccupied with their own lives to give anybody else even the scantiest of thoughts.

STRANGELOVE REPRODUCTION: Having children to make up for the fact that one no longer believes in the future.
Douglas Coupland
Here's my theory about meetings and life: the three things you can't fake are erections, competence and creativity.
Douglas Coupland
Men won't read any email from a woman that's over 200 words long.
