More quotes by Douglas Coupland
Depression is when you have lots of love, but no one's taking.
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
Here's my theory about meetings and life: the three things you can't fake are erections, competence and creativity.

Douglas Coupland
Human beings are the only animal that thinks they change who they are simply by moving to a different place. Birds migrate, but it's not quite the same thing.
Douglas Coupland
Brain research tells us that only twenty percent of human beings have a sense of irony, which means that eighty percent of the world takes everything at face value.
Douglas Coupland
Chronocanine Envy: Sadness experienced when one realized that, unlike one's dog, one cannot live only in the present tense. As Kierkegaard said, Life must be lived forward.
Douglas Coupland
A ring is a halo on your finger.
Douglas Coupland
You've seen what you've seen you've felt what you've felt. Ideology is for people who don't trust their own experiences and perceptions of the world.
Douglas Coupland
Christmas makes everything twice as sad.
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?
Douglas Coupland
So where do you start when you want to start your life again?
Douglas Coupland
Nobody believes the identities we've made for ourselves. I feel like everybody in the world is fake now - as though people had true cores once, but hucked them away and replaced them with something more attractive but also hollow.
Douglas Coupland
Lottery tickets are a surtax on desperation.
