More quotes by Douglas Coupland
In the same way you can never go backward to a slower computer, you can never go backward to a lessened state of connectedness.
Douglas Coupland
So much information lacks a good way to store it, especially when it's all digital sometimes it requires old technology to go back and retrieve it.
Douglas Coupland
You really have to wonder why we even bother to get up in the morning. I mean, really: Why work? Simply to buy more stuff?
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
Life is boring. People are vengeful. Good things always end. We do so many things and we don’t know why, and if we do find out why, it’s decades later and knowing why doesn’t matter any more.
Douglas Coupland
There's nothing cute or funny or lovable about being cheap. It's a total turn-off.
Douglas Coupland
We're all born lost, aren't we? We're all born separated from God - over and over life makes sure to inform us of this - and yet we're all real: we have names, we have lives. We mean something. We must.
Douglas Coupland
At least there's nothing scary about him and hopefully he doesn't see anything scary in me. We go way back, to summer camp. We KNOW each other. People I don't know just make me want to say YIKES! I'll take history over mystery any day of the week.
Douglas Coupland
In our heads we're all about 33 years old.
Douglas Coupland
If you don't have a spiritual practice in place when times are good, you can't expect to suddenly develop one during a moment of crisis.
Douglas Coupland
What is prayer but a wish for the events in your life to string together to form a story -- something that makes some sense of events you know have meaning.
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
How can I be a part of the 1960s generation when I don't even remember any of it?
Douglas Coupland
Canadian winters are long. Life is hard and so is ice.
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
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
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
It's never felt more Canadian to be Canadian than it does now.
Douglas Coupland
Later, I would learn that coincidences are the most planned things in the world. Later, I would learn that every single moment is a coincidence.
Douglas Coupland
Your body isn't just a body. It's an ecosystem.
