Nobody cares about worthiness. People care about what is real inside of you.
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.

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
You can get a subjective and highly factual dossier on most anyone in the public realm almost instantly. It's why publishers don't worry about author photos any more people just Google a person and get on with things.
Douglas Coupland
Every single moment is a coincidence.
Douglas Coupland
I don't think anyone ever gets over anything in life they merely get used to it.
Douglas Coupland
Most of us have only two or three genuinely interesting moments in our lives the rest is filler.
Douglas Coupland
We decided that the French could never write user-friendly software because they're so rude.
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.
