Douglas Coupland
What is prayer but a wish for the events in your life to string together to form a story -- something that makes some sense of events you know have meaning.

Douglas Coupland
The future and eternity are two entirely different things.
Douglas Coupland
I think we're simply going to run out of Nature before we have a chance to destroy it.
Douglas Coupland

Douglas Coupland
You can have information or you can have a life, but you can't have both.
Douglas Coupland
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
I sandpapered the roof of my mouth with 3 bowls of Cap'n Crunch - had raw gobbets of mouth-beef dangling onto my tongue all day
Douglas Coupland
It's very strange that most people don't care if their knowledge of their family history only goes back three generations.
Douglas Coupland
Failure is authentic, and because it's authentic, it's real and genuine, and because of that, it's a pure state of being.
Douglas Coupland
