Douglas Coupland

We'll testify together to what we have seen and felt. Life will go on--all of us--crawling stumbling, falling perhaps. But we will be the strong ones. Our hearts will shine brightly.
Douglas Coupland

Douglas Coupland
I'd take a helicopter up and throw microwave ovens down on the Taco Bell.
Douglas Coupland
You can't fake creativity, competence, or sexual arousal.
Douglas Coupland
I think of how people can betray me simply by not caring enough to hide the fact of how little they care.I think of how the person who needs the other person the least in a relationship is the stronger member.
Douglas Coupland
Royalty is either going to do very well with cloning, or it's going to disappear completely.
Douglas Coupland
We live in an era with no historical precedents. History is no longer useful as a tool in helping us understand current changes.
Douglas Coupland
Handmade presents are scary because they reveal that you have too much free time.
Douglas Coupland
Americans are a quarter of a billion people who have almost nothing in common except for the fact they've been told they have lots in common.
Douglas Coupland
I'm an adult. Discipline me and I'll bury you alive. - Roger
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?
