Douglas Coupland
I think we're simply going to run out of Nature before we have a chance to destroy it.

Douglas Coupland
What surprises me about humanity is that in the end such a narrow range of plights defines our moral lives.
Douglas Coupland
what I remember is the silence in spite of the noise. In my head it might just as well have been a snowy day in the country.
Douglas Coupland
Give parents the tiniest of confidences and they'll use them as crowbars to jimmy you open and rearrange your life with no perspective.
Douglas Coupland
Feeling unique is no indication of uniqueness.
Douglas Coupland
You know what the best thing is about the end of the day? Tomorrow, it starts all over again.
Douglas Coupland
At least when you're young you're also stupid.
Douglas Coupland
It's around midnight. After I left Dad, my choice was to either become very drunk or write this. I chose to write this. It felt kind of now-or-never for me.
Douglas Coupland
Marketing is essentially about feeding the poop back to diners fast enough to make them think they're still getting real food.
