Douglas Coupland
I am aware that there is a world out there that functions without regard to me. There are wars and budgets and bombings and vast dimensions of wealth and greed and ambition and corruption. And yet I don't feel a part of that world, and I wouldn't know how to join if I tried.
Douglas Coupland
You really have to wonder why we even bother to get up in the morning. I mean, really: Why work? Simply to buy more stuff?
