Douglas Coupland
Youth is the time of life lived for some imaginary audience.
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.
