More quotes by Douglas Coupland
Youth is the time of life lived for some imaginary audience.
Douglas Coupland
Ten commandments yet seven deadly sins: conflict?
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
Big companies are like marching bands. Even if half the band is playing random notes, it still sounds kind of like music. The concealment of failure is built into them.
Douglas Coupland
If your life had lyrics, would they be any good?
Douglas Coupland

Douglas Coupland
Only losers make decisions when things are bad. The time to rejig your life is the time when it's seemingly smooth.
Douglas Coupland

Douglas Coupland
Time perception is very much about how you sequence your activities, how many activities you layer overtop of others, and the types of gaps, if any, you leave in between activities.
Douglas Coupland
Most people can't handle a structureless life.
Douglas Coupland
The Sugar Frosted Nutsack is fantastic. It's volcanic and sexy and utterly unlike anything I've read before. It feels like the future in a dazzling way that has nothing to do with looking backward. It's been a long wait for a new novel from Mark Leyner, but worth it. Ten out of ten from me.
Douglas Coupland
I think that in the future, clocks won't say three o'clock anymore. They'll just get right to the point and rename three o'clock 'Pepsi.
Douglas Coupland
Marketing is essentially about feeding the poop back to diners fast enough to make them think they're still getting real food.
Douglas Coupland
Too much free time is certainly a monkey's paw in disguise. Most people can't handle a structureless life.
Douglas Coupland
My writing process is ritualized and monotonous, but there's no other way to get the job done. All other fiction writers I've met say the same thing.
Douglas Coupland
I think we're simply going to run out of Nature before we have a chance to destroy it.
