More quotes by Douglas Coupland
Feeling unique is no indication of uniqueness.
Douglas Coupland
Quick. Name ten dead redheads.
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
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
You can't fake creativity, competence, or sexual arousal.
Douglas Coupland
Gap clothing allows you to look like you're from nowhere and anywhere.
Douglas Coupland
You can't get mad at weather because weather's not about you. Apply that lesson to most other aspects of life.
Douglas Coupland

Douglas Coupland
Fondue sets, martini shakers and juicing machines: three things the world could live completely without.
Douglas Coupland

Douglas Coupland
It's like male geeks don't know how to deal with real live women, so they just assume it's a user interface problem. Not their fault. They'll just wait for the next version to come out- something more user friendly.
Douglas Coupland
The capacity for not feeling lonely can carry a very real price, that of feeling nothing at all.
Douglas Coupland
And in your new lives you'll have to live entirely for that one sensation-that of imminent truth. And you're going to have to holler for it, steal for it, beg for it-and you're never to stop asking questions about it twenty-four hours a day, the rest of your life.
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
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
I curled myself into a ball and cried quietly, doing that thing that only young people can do, namely, feeling sorry for myself. Once you're past thirty you lose that ability instead of feeling sorry for yourself you turn bitter.
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
What is human behavior, except trying to prove that we're not animals?
Douglas Coupland
Beware of the corporate invasion of private memory.
