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.

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
We're rapidly approaching a world comprised entirely of jail and shopping.
Douglas Coupland

Douglas Coupland

Douglas Coupland
How can I be a part of the 1960s generation when I don't even remember any of it?
Douglas Coupland
Vaccinated Time Travel: To fantasize about traveling backward in time, but only with proper vaccinations.
Douglas Coupland
People are pretty forgiving when it comes to other people's families. The only family that ever horrifies you is your own.
Douglas Coupland
Give parents the tiniest of confidences and they'll use them as crowbars to jimmy you open and rearrange your life with no perspective.
Douglas Coupland
Blame is just a lazy person's way of making sense of chaos.
Douglas Coupland
Maybe the more emotions a person experiences in their daily lives, the longer time seems to feel to them. As you get older, you experience fewer new things, and so time seems to go by faster.
