I don't understand beauty....

I don't understand beauty.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

I curled myself into a ball an...

I curled myself into a ball and cried quietly, doing that thing that only young people can do, namely, feeling sorry for myself. Once you're past thirty you lose that ability; instead of feeling sorry for yourself you turn bitter.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

It's never felt more Canadian ...

It's never felt more Canadian to be Canadian than it does now.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

There are few, if any, Canadian men that have never spelled their name in a snow bank.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

You really have to wonder why ...

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?

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

Flying dreams mean that you're...

Flying dreams mean that you're doing the right thing with your life.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

I don't think anyone ever gets...

I don't think anyone ever gets over anything in life; they merely get used to it.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

I mean five thousand years ago...

I mean five thousand years ago people emerge out of nowhere -sproing!- with brains and everything and begin wrecking the planet. You'd think we'd give the issue a little more thought than we do.

Christmas makes everything twi...

Christmas makes everything twice as sad.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

Sometimes you can't realize yo...

Sometimes you can't realize you're in a bad mood until another person enters your orbit.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

I think it takes an amazing am...

I think it takes an amazing amount of energy to convince oneself that the Forever Person isn't just around the corner. In the end I believe we never do convince ourselves. I know that I found it increasingly hard to maintain the pose of emotional self-sufficiency lying on my bed and sitting at my desk, watching the gulls cartwheeling in the clouds over the bridges, cradling myself in my own arms, breathing warm chocolate-and-vodka breath on a rose I had found on a street corner, trying to force it to bloom.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

Later, I would learn that coin...

Later, I would learn that coincidences are the most planned things in the world. Later, I would learn that every single moment is a coincidence.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

It's starts out young- you try...

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 371 quotes

It's like male geeks don't kno...

It's like male geeks don't know how to deal with real live women, so they just assume it's a user interface problem. Not their fault. They'll just wait for the next version to come out- something more 'user friendly.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

Anyway, I want to remember tha...

Anyway, I want to remember that love can happen. Because there is life after not having a life. I never expected love to happen. What was I expecting from life, then?

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

I say 'Uhmm...' a lot. I mentioned this to Karla and she says it's a CPU word. It means you're assembling data in your head - spooling.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

The best part of my life is go...

The best part of my life is gone, and what remains is whizzing past so quickly I feel like I'm Krazy-Glue'ed onto a mechanical bull of a time machine.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

We sleep heavily because we need to ask so many questions as we dream alone.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

Big companies are like marchin...

Big companies are like marching bands. Even if half the band is playing random notes, it still sounds kind of like music. The concealment of failure is built into them.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

Failure is authentic, and beca...

Failure is authentic, and because it's authentic, it's real and genuine, and because of that, it's a pure state of being.
