Douglas Coupland
If human beings had genuine courage, they'd wear their costumes every day of the year, not just on Halloween.

And then sometimes I think the people to feel saddest for are people who once knew what profoundness was, but who lost or became numb to the sensation of wonder – people who closed the doors that leads us into the secret world – or who had the doors closed for them by time and neglect and decisions made in times of weakness.
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
just then a bee bumbled above us and stole our attention the way flying things can
Douglas Coupland
I ma trying to feel more well adjusted than I really am, which is, I guess, the human condition.
Douglas Coupland
There's nothing at the center of what we do...No center. It doesn't exist. All of us-look at our lives: We have an acceptable level of affluence. We have entertainment. We have a relative freedom from fear. But there's nothing else.
Douglas Coupland
Royalty is either going to do very well with cloning, or it's going to disappear completely.
Douglas Coupland
Life need not be a story, but it does need to be an adventure.
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
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
Here's my theory about meetings and life: the three things you can't fake are erections, competence and creativity.
Douglas Coupland
I saw doves and I thought they were rocks, but they were asleep. My breath made them stir, and they rocks took flight, the earth exploding... and my only thought was that I wanted you to see them, too.
