More quotes by Douglas Coupland
Americans are a quarter of a billion people who have almost nothing in common except for the fact they've been told they have lots in common.
Douglas Coupland
Nature is one great big wood-chipper. Sooner or later, everything shoots out the other end in a spray of blood, bones and hair.
Douglas Coupland
Everyone has a special place they store their tension (I'm on shiatsu duty), the same way everyone misspells the same words over and over. Karla stores her tension in her rhomboid muscles, and I remove it. This is making me feel good. That I can do this.
Douglas Coupland
The capacity for not feeling lonely can carry a very real price, that of feeling nothing at all.
Douglas Coupland
If you don't have a spiritual practice in place when times are good, you can't expect to suddenly develop one during a moment of crisis.
Douglas Coupland
Try not thinking of peeling an orange. Try not imagining the juice running down your fingers, the soft inner part of the peel. The smell. Try and you can't. The brain doesn't process negatives.
Douglas Coupland
We're rapidly approaching a world comprised entirely of jail and shopping.
Douglas Coupland
I think that every reader on earth has a list of cherished books as unique as their fingerprints... I think that, as you age, you tend to gravitate towards the classics, but those aren't the books that give you the same sort of hope for the world that a cherished book does.
Douglas Coupland

Douglas Coupland

Douglas Coupland
Starved for affection, terrified of abandonment, I began to wonder if sex was really just an excuse to look deeply into another human being's eyes.
Douglas Coupland
Every single moment is a coincidence.
Douglas Coupland
Sometimes you accidentally input an extra digit into the year: i.e, 19993 and you add 18,000 years on to *now*, and you realize that the year 19993 will one day exist and that time is a scary thing, indeed.
Douglas Coupland
As I'm never going to be old, I'm glad that I never lost my sense of wonder about the world, although I have a hunch it would have happened pretty soon. I loved the world, its beauty and bigness as well as its smallness.
Douglas Coupland
Flying dreams mean that you're doing the right thing with your life.
Douglas Coupland
Too much free time is certainly a monkey's paw in disguise. Most people can't handle a structureless life.
Douglas Coupland
You pretend to be more eccentric than you actually are because you worry you are an interchangeable cog.
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
We need to be around our families not because we have so many shared experiences to talk about, but instead because they know precisely which subjects to avoid.
