More quotes by Douglas Coupland
What is human behavior, except trying to prove that we're not animals?
Douglas Coupland
The best part of my life is gone, and what remains is whizzing past so quickly I feel like I'm Krazy-Glue'ed onto a mechanical bull of a time machine.
Douglas Coupland
You can't get mad at weather because weather's not about you. Apply that lesson to most other aspects of life.
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
And I think back over my own life and I realize that my own nature-the core me-essentially hasn’t changed all these years. When I wake up in the morning, for those first few moments before I remember where I am or when I am, I still feel that same way I did when I woke up at the age of five.
Douglas Coupland
At least when you're young you're also stupid.
Douglas Coupland
I thought about 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. The only activities I could think of that humans do that have no animal equivalent were smoking, body-building and writing. That's not much, considering how special we seem to think we are.
Douglas Coupland
I think writing would have happened to me anyway, somehow. Differently, but it still would have happened.
Douglas Coupland
Every human being you see in the course of a day has a problem that's sucking up at least 70 percent of his or her radar.
Douglas Coupland
I'd take a helicopter up and throw microwave ovens down on the Taco Bell.
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
Life need not be a story, but it does need to be an adventure.
Douglas Coupland
The richness of the rain made me feel safe and protected I have always considered the rain to be healing—a blanket—the comfort of a friend. Without at least some rain in any given day, or at least a cloud or two on the horizon, I feel overwhelmed by the information of sunlight and yearn for the vital, muffling gift of falling water.
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
After my brush with the suicidal impulse, I listen with new ears to others when they speak on the subject. I think there are people who were born with that little door open, and they have to go through life knowing that they might jump through it at any moment.
Douglas Coupland
I find it hard to believe that human beings are the crowning achievement of life on earth. Something better than us has to come along.
Douglas Coupland
I like the present. I'm always interested in new ideas, and what's happening. I'm not nostalgic.
Douglas Coupland
Handmade presents are scary because they reveal that you have too much free time.
Douglas Coupland
Quick. Name ten dead redheads.
Douglas Coupland
If you don't have a spiritual practice in place when times are good, you can't expect to suddenly develop one during a moment of crisis.
