More quotes by Douglas Coupland
I think, there are people for whom freedom is a bigger, more important thing than stability.
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
Only losers make decisions when things are bad. The time to rejig your life is the time when it's seemingly smooth.

Nobody believes the identities we've made for ourselves. I feel like everybody in the world is fake now - as though people had true cores once, but hucked them away and replaced them with something more attractive but also hollow.
Douglas Coupland
I think individual people are interesting, not really groups of people.
Douglas Coupland
Adventure without risk is Disneyland.
Douglas Coupland
Your body isn't just a body. It's an ecosystem.
Douglas Coupland
How can I be a part of the 1960s generation when I don't even remember any of it?

HISTORICAL SLUMMING: the act of visiting locations such as diners, smokestack industrial sites, rural villageslocations where time appears to have been frozen many years backso as to experience relief when one returns back to'the present'.
Douglas Coupland
Human beings are the only animal that thinks they change who they are simply by moving to a different place. Birds migrate, but it's not quite the same thing.
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
At least when you're young you're also stupid.
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.
