Vaccinated Time Travel: To fantasize about traveling backward in time, but only with proper vaccinations.
Douglas Coupland
You guys just wait and see. We'll stand taller than these mountains. We'll bare open our hearts for the world to grab. We'll see lights where there was dimness. We'll testify together to what we have seen and felt. Life will go on--all of us--crawling stumbling, falling perhaps. But we will be the strong ones. Our hearts will shine brightly.
Douglas Coupland

Douglas Coupland
At least there's nothing scary about him and hopefully he doesn't see anything scary in me. We go way back, to summer camp. We KNOW each other. People I don't know just make me want to say YIKES! I'll take history over mystery any day of the week.
Douglas Coupland
Purchased experiences don't count.
Douglas Coupland
We live in an era with no historical precedents. History is no longer useful as a tool in helping us understand current changes.
Douglas Coupland
Compromise is said to be the way of the world and yet I find myself feeling sick trying to accept what it has done to me.
Douglas Coupland
You've seen what you've seen you've felt what you've felt. Ideology is for people who don't trust their own experiences and perceptions of the world.
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
Every single moment is a coincidence.
Douglas Coupland
If human beings had genuine courage, they'd wear their costumes every day of the year, not just on Halloween.
