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
You can get a subjective and highly factual dossier on most anyone in the public realm almost instantly. It's why publishers don't worry about author photos any more people just Google a person and get on with things.
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.
