There is no shame in impulse.
Douglas Coupland
Handmade presents are scary because they reveal that you have too much free time.
Douglas Coupland
We're all born lost, aren't we? We're all born separated from God - over and over life makes sure to inform us of this - and yet we're all real: we have names, we have lives. We mean something. We must.
Douglas Coupland
We live in an era with no historical precedents. History is no longer useful as a tool in helping us understand current changes.
Douglas Coupland
She thought about her life and how lost she’d felt for most of it. She thought about the way that all truths she’d been taught to consider valuable invariably conflicted with the world as it was actually lived. How could a person be so utterly lost, yet remain living?
Douglas Coupland

Here's my theory about meetings and life: the three things you can't fake are erections, competence and creativity.
Douglas Coupland
We're rapidly approaching a world comprised entirely of jail and shopping.
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.
Douglas Coupland
Happy. And then I got afraid that it would vanish as quickly as it came. That it was accidental-- that I didn't deserve it. It's like this very, very nice car crash that never ends.
Douglas Coupland
The harder you try to become the opposite of your parents, the more quickly you become them.
Douglas Coupland
Life need not be a story, but it does need to be an adventure.
Douglas Coupland
The modern world is devoted to vanishing species, vanishing weather and vanishing capacity for wonder.
Douglas Coupland
Destiny is what we work toward. The future doesn't exist yet. Fate is for losers!
Douglas Coupland
Salad bars are like a restaurant's lungs. They soak up the impurities and bacteria in the environment, leaving you with much cleaner air to enjoy.
Douglas Coupland
