I find people who prejudge reality TV to be annoying. Art comes from anywhere. Culture can ooze out of any crack. Prejudging is the death of creativity.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

Most of us have only two or th...

Most of us have only two or three genuinely interesting moments in our lives; the rest is filler.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

Human beings are the only anim...

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 371 quotes

I think, there are people for ...

I think, there are people for whom freedom is a bigger, more important thing than stability.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

The more you want something to...

The more you want something to happen, the harder it becomes.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

It's just amazing how hard it ...

It's just amazing how hard it is for people to change, even when amazing things happen. It almost reinforces who you are instead of making you change.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

TV is all about hair. And then...

TV is all about hair. And then skin. And then clothing. And then it's about your voice. And finally the report, what you're actually saying. And 99 times out of 100, it never gets past the hair.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

Discussions of generations only go downhill. There's no point in having them.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

I think individual people are ...

I think individual people are interesting, not really groups of people.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

In the old days people had far fewer channels in which to place their imaginative time. There's definitely more competition for time . . . and yet people seem to be reading [books] as much.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

Nobody cares about worthiness....

Nobody cares about worthiness. People care about what is real inside of you.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

I want to see books taken out ...

I want to see books taken out of historical time and placed into a different timeline, such as evolutionary or geological time, as a means of putting the human experience in context.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

Why are we even here [on earth...

Why are we even here [on earth], what's our human nature? It's precipitating a real philosophical crisis that I find quite fascinating.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

Unhappy endings are just as im...

Unhappy endings are just as important as happy endings. They're an efficient way of transmitting vital Darwinian information. Your brain needs them to make maps of the world, maps that let you know what sorts of people and situations to avoid.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

So much information lacks a go...

So much information lacks a good way to store it, especially when it's all digital; sometimes it requires old technology to go back and retrieve it.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

I really do force myself to no...

I really do force myself to not be fully engaged with all the technology at once, just because I have an addictive personality and I get too into it.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

I like the present. I'm always...

I like the present. I'm always interested in new ideas, and what's happening. I'm not nostalgic.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

When the world throws you too ...

When the world throws you too much information, the only way you can stay sane or survive is to look for pattern recognition. Amidst all the blurs, is there a constellation that emerges, is there a straight line that's emerging. I think as long as you keep your mind in the palce where you're actively looking for patterns, you may not be safe, but you're going to feel safe, I think.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

I build my life so that I don'...

I build my life so that I don't wake up for anything. Ever. If you make me get up early to do something with you, I will hate you and resent you and figure out a way of never having to work with you ever again.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

It'd be preposterous for me to...

It'd be preposterous for me to propose a universal cure to loneliness but I will say that people who do the things they find interesting, either creatively or vocationally, tend to become unlonely very quickly.
