The person who needs the other person the least in a relationship is the stronger member.
Douglas Coupland
The world is a glorious place, and filled with so many unexpected moments that I'd get lumps in my throat, as though I were watching a bride walk down the aisle - moments as eternal and full of love as the lifting of veils, the saying of vows and the moment of the first wedded kiss.
Douglas Coupland
Big companies are like marching bands. Even if half the band is playing random notes, it still sounds kind of like music. The concealment of failure is built into them.
Douglas Coupland

Douglas Coupland
It's starts out young- you try not be different just to survive- you try to be just like everyone else- anonymity becomes reflexive- and then one day you wake up and you've become all those other people- the others- the something you aren't. And you wonder if you can ever be what it is you really are. Or you wonder if it's too late to find out.
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
The Sugar Frosted Nutsack is fantastic. It's volcanic and sexy and utterly unlike anything I've read before. It feels like the future in a dazzling way that has nothing to do with looking backward. It's been a long wait for a new novel from Mark Leyner, but worth it. Ten out of ten from me.
Douglas Coupland
I like having a beard. My beard changes my face shape and allows me to see in it family members who I love and can't see otherwise.
Douglas Coupland
A ring is a halo on your finger.
Douglas Coupland
Do you ever just want to take your car out onto the highway and gun the engine as fast as you can and then close your eyes and see what happens?
Douglas Coupland
Feeling unique is no indication of uniqueness.
