More quotes by Douglas Coupland

Douglas Coupland
And any small moments of intense, flaring beauty such as this morning's will be utterly forgotten, dissolved by time like a super-8 film left out in the rain, without sound, and quickly replaced by thousands of silently growing trees.
Douglas Coupland

If your life had lyrics, would they be any good?
Douglas Coupland
As I'm never going to be old, I'm glad that I never lost my sense of wonder about the world, although I have a hunch it would have happened pretty soon. I loved the world, its beauty and bigness as well as its smallness.
Douglas Coupland
I mean five thousand years ago people emerge out of nowhere -sproing!- with brains and everything and begin wrecking the planet. You'd think we'd give the issue a little more thought than we do.
Douglas Coupland
I think individual people are interesting, not really groups of people.
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
I've got 911 on speed dial.
Douglas Coupland
The new world lies before her eyes like an opened chest of treasure, a flock of birds over Africa, a thousand TVs all playing at once.

NOSTALGIA IS A WEAPON
Douglas Coupland
Only the disenfranchised can party with abandon.

Cloning is great. If God made the original, then making copies should be fine.
