Douglas Coupland
It's like male geeks don't know how to deal with real live women, so they just assume it's a user interface problem. Not their fault. They'll just wait for the next version to come out- something more user friendly.
Douglas Coupland
Every single moment is a coincidence.

Vaccinated Time Travel: To fantasize about traveling backward in time, but only with proper vaccinations.
Douglas Coupland
Purchased experiences don't count.
Douglas Coupland
What is human behavior, except trying to prove that we're not animals?
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
As the expression goes, we spend our youth attaining wealth, and our wealth attaining youth.
Douglas Coupland
The person who needs the other person the least in a relationship is the stronger member.
