More quotes by Douglas Coupland
Las Vegas is a SimCity game gone horribly wrong.
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
Canadian winters are long. Life is hard and so is ice.
Douglas Coupland
Happy. And then I got afraid that it would vanish as quickly as it came. That it was accidental-- that I didn't deserve it. It's like this very, very nice car crash that never ends.
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
Too much free time is certainly a monkey's paw in disguise. Most people can't handle a structureless life.
Douglas Coupland
I've got 911 on speed dial.
Douglas Coupland
With the first drink comes the truth, with the second drink comes wishful thinking, and with the third drink come the lies.
Douglas Coupland

Douglas Coupland
I tried to think of a witty play on Every picture tells a thousand words, but then the whole word/picture thing collapsed on me.
Douglas Coupland

Douglas Coupland
It's very strange that most people don't care if their knowledge of their family history only goes back three generations.
Douglas Coupland
And then I felt sad because I realized that once people are broken in certain ways, they can't ever be fixed, and this is something nobody ever tells you when you are young and it never fails to surprise you as you grow older as you see the people in your life break one by one. You wonder when your turn is going to be, or if it's already happened.
Douglas Coupland
what I remember is the silence in spite of the noise. In my head it might just as well have been a snowy day in the country.
Douglas Coupland
Depression is when you have lots of love, but no one's taking.
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
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
Salad bars are like a restaurant's lungs. They soak up the impurities and bacteria in the environment, leaving you with much cleaner air to enjoy.
Douglas Coupland
SAFETY NET-ISM: The belief that there will always be a financial and emotional safety net to buffer life's hurts. Usually parents.
