More quotes by Douglas Coupland
And any small moments of intense, flaring beauty such as this morning's will be utterly forgotten, dissolved by time like a super-8 film left out in the rain, without sound, and quickly replaced by thousands of silently growing trees.
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

Douglas Coupland
Inasmuch as I am a spiritual man, I do believe in God - I think that He created an order for the world I believe that, in constantly bombarding Him with requests for miracles, we're also asking that He unravel the fabric of the world. A world of continuous miracles would be a cartoon, not a world.
Douglas Coupland
I tried to think of a witty play on Every picture tells a thousand words, but then the whole word/picture thing collapsed on me.
Douglas Coupland
We're rapidly approaching a world comprised entirely of jail and shopping.
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
People are pretty forgiving when it comes to other people's families. The only family that ever horrifies you is your own.
Douglas Coupland
In the same way you can never go backward to a slower computer, you can never go backward to a lessened state of connectedness.
Douglas Coupland
You can't fake creativity, competence, or sexual arousal.
