Douglas Coupland
Do you remember how you felt at seventeen? I do and I don't (...) Imagine you came from outer space and someone showed you a butterfly and a caterpillar. Would you ever put the two of them together? That's me and my memories.
Douglas Coupland
Forget about being world famous, it's hard enough just getting the automatic doors at the supermarket to acknowledge our existence.
Douglas Coupland
