Douglas Coupland
Earth was not built for six billion people all running around and being passionate about things. The world was built for about two million people foraging for roots and grubs.
Douglas Coupland
...you spend a much larger part of your life being old, not young. Rules change along the way. The first things to go are those things you thought were eternal.
Douglas Coupland
Most of us have only two or three genuinely interesting moments in our lives the rest is filler.
Douglas Coupland
A good piece of technology dreams of the day when it will be replaced by a newer piece of technology. This is one definition of progress.
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
We're all born lost, aren't we? We're all born separated from God - over and over life makes sure to inform us of this - and yet we're all real: we have names, we have lives. We mean something. We must.
Douglas Coupland
Gap clothing allows you to look like you're from nowhere and anywhere.
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
Quick. Name ten dead redheads.
