More quotes by Douglas Coupland
Life need not be a story, but it does need to be an adventure.
Douglas Coupland
As you grow older, it becomes harder to feel 100 percent happy you learn all the things that can go wrong, you become superstitious about tempting fate, about bringing disaster upon your life by accidentally feeling too good one day.

Inasmuch as I am a spiritual man, I do believe in God - I think that He created an order for the world I believe that, in constantly bombarding Him with requests for miracles, we're also asking that He unravel the fabric of the world. A world of continuous miracles would be a cartoon, not a world.
Douglas Coupland

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
The person who needs the other person the least in a relationship is the stronger member.
Douglas Coupland
What is human behavior, except trying to prove that we're not animals?
Douglas Coupland
Technology favors horrible people.
Douglas Coupland
Beware of the corporate invasion of private memory.
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
Christmas makes everything twice as sad.
