More quotes by Douglas Coupland
And in his heart, I think, he's now learned what I came to believe, which is, as I've said all along, that the sun may burn brightly, and the faces of children may be plump and achingly sweet, but in the air we breathe, in the water we drink and in the food we share, there will always be darkness in this world.
Douglas Coupland
Ski boots are the worst. Solid plastic. They'll be around till the sun goes supernova.

If a building looks better under construction than it does when finished, then it's a failure.
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
At least there's nothing scary about him and hopefully he doesn't see anything scary in me. We go way back, to summer camp. We KNOW each other. People I don't know just make me want to say YIKES! I'll take history over mystery any day of the week.
Douglas Coupland

Douglas Coupland
Technology favors horrible people.
Douglas Coupland
The Sugar Frosted Nutsack is fantastic. It's volcanic and sexy and utterly unlike anything I've read before. It feels like the future in a dazzling way that has nothing to do with looking backward. It's been a long wait for a new novel from Mark Leyner, but worth it. Ten out of ten from me.
Douglas Coupland
Too much free time is certainly a monkey's paw in disguise. Most people can't handle a structureless life.
Douglas Coupland
Lottery tickets are a surtax on desperation.
Douglas Coupland
Why do most of us make such boring choices for the stories of our lives?
Douglas Coupland
The richness of the rain made me feel safe and protected I have always considered the rain to be healing—a blanket—the comfort of a friend. Without at least some rain in any given day, or at least a cloud or two on the horizon, I feel overwhelmed by the information of sunlight and yearn for the vital, muffling gift of falling water.
Douglas Coupland
What if it was cats who invented technology, would they have TV shows starring rubber sqeaky toys?
Douglas Coupland
I like having a beard. My beard changes my face shape and allows me to see in it family members who I love and can't see otherwise.
Douglas Coupland
Royalty is either going to do very well with cloning, or it's going to disappear completely.
