Douglas Coupland
What exactly is it that humans do that is specifically human? There has to be something. How odd it is for billions of people to be alive, yet not one of them is really quite sure of what makes people people.
Douglas Coupland
Most of us have only two or three genuinely interesting moments in our lives the rest is filler.
Douglas Coupland
Make your goals big and broad enough so that they never become answered prayers and boomerang to curse you.
Douglas Coupland
And in his heart, I think, he's now learned what I came to believe, which is, as I've said all along, that the sun may burn brightly, and the faces of children may be plump and achingly sweet, but in the air we breathe, in the water we drink and in the food we share, there will always be darkness in this world.
