More quotes by Douglas Coupland
The modern world is devoted to vanishing species, vanishing weather and vanishing capacity for wonder.
Douglas Coupland
I think writing would have happened to me anyway, somehow. Differently, but it still would have happened.
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
Sometimes failure isn't an opportunity in disguise, it's just you.
Douglas Coupland
You can't fake creativity, competence, or sexual arousal.
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
Most people can't handle a structureless life.
Douglas Coupland
Happy. And then I got afraid that it would vanish as quickly as it came. That it was accidental-- that I didn't deserve it. It's like this very, very nice car crash that never ends.
Douglas Coupland
The capacity for not feeling lonely can carry a very real price, that of feeling nothing at all.
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
Starved for affection, terrified of abandonment, I began to wonder if sex was really just an excuse to look deeply into another human being's eyes.
Douglas Coupland
She thought about her life and how lost she’d felt for most of it. She thought about the way that all truths she’d been taught to consider valuable invariably conflicted with the world as it was actually lived. How could a person be so utterly lost, yet remain living?
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
Lists only spell out the things that can be taken away from us by moths and rust and thieves. If something is valuable, don't put it in a list. Don't even say the words.
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
Good looking people with strong, fluoridated teeth get things handed to them on platters.
Douglas Coupland
A ring is a halo on your finger.
Douglas Coupland
We're all born lost, aren't we? We're all born separated from God - over and over life makes sure to inform us of this - and yet we're all real: we have names, we have lives. We mean something. We must.
Douglas Coupland
I find people who prejudge reality TV to be annoying. Art comes from anywhere. Culture can ooze out of any crack. Prejudging is the death of creativity.
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.
