More quotes by 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
Florida isn't so much a place where one goes to reinvent oneself, as it is a place where one goes if one no longer wished to be found.
Douglas Coupland
just then a bee bumbled above us and stole our attention the way flying things can
Douglas Coupland
I mean five thousand years ago people emerge out of nowhere -sproing!- with brains and everything and begin wrecking the planet. You'd think we'd give the issue a little more thought than we do.
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
Compromise is said to be the way of the world and yet I find myself feeling sick trying to accept what it has done to me.
Douglas Coupland
We need to be around our families not because we have so many shared experiences to talk about, but instead because they know precisely which subjects to avoid.
Douglas Coupland
You keep waiting for the moral of your life to become obvious, but it never does. Work, work, work: No moral. No plot. No eureka! Just production schedules and days. You might as well be living inside a photocopier. Your lives are all they're ever going to be.
Douglas Coupland
CONSENSUS TERRORISM:The process that decides in- office attitudes and behavior.
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.
Douglas Coupland
Nobody believes the identities we've made for ourselves. I feel like everybody in the world is fake now - as though people had true cores once, but hucked them away and replaced them with something more attractive but also hollow.
Douglas Coupland
People who advocate simplicity have money in the bank the money came first, not the simplicity.
Douglas Coupland
There's nothing at the center of what we do...No center. It doesn't exist. All of us-look at our lives: We have an acceptable level of affluence. We have entertainment. We have a relative freedom from fear. But there's nothing else.
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
You pretend to be more eccentric than you actually are because you worry you are an interchangeable cog.
Douglas Coupland
Most of us have only two or three genuinely interesting moments in our lives the rest is filler.
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.
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
Beware of the corporate invasion of private memory.
