It is indeed a mistake to confuse children with angels

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

I think God is how you deal with everything that's out of your own control.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

A good piece of technology dreams of the day when it will be replaced by a newer piece of technology. This is one definition of progress.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

Could the situation be that w...

Could the situation be that we no longer believe in that particular place? Or maybe we were all promised Heaven in our lifetimes, and what we ended up with can't help but suffer in comparison.

Knee-Jerk Irony: The tendency to make flippant ironic comments as a reflexive matter of course in everyday conversation.

Please stop putting quotes fr...

Please stop putting quotes from Nietzsche at the end of your emails. Five years ago you were laughing your guts out over American Pie 2. What — suddenly you’ve magically turned into Noam Chomsky?

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

I have always liked the idea ...

I have always liked the idea of Superman because I have always liked the idea that there is one person in the world who doesn’t do bad things. And that there is one person in the world who is able to fly.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

Happy. And then I got afraid ...

Happy. And then I got afraid that it would vanish as quickly as it came. That it was accidental-- that I didn't deserve it. It's like this very, very nice car crash that never ends.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

And any small moments of inte...

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 371 quotes

Give parents the tiniest of c...

Give parents the tiniest of confidences and they'll use them as crowbars to jimmy you open and rearrange your life with no perspective. Sometimes I'd just like to mace them. I want to tell them that I envy their upbringings that were so clean, so free of futurelessness. And I want to throttle them for blindly handing over the world to us like so much skid-marked underwear.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

Sometimes you accidentally in...

Sometimes you accidentally input an extra digit into the year: i.e, 19993 and you add 18,000 years on to *now*, and you realize that the year 19993 will one day exist and that time is a scary thing, indeed.

Q: If you could be an animal,...

Q: If you could be an animal, what kind of animal would you be? A: You already are an animal.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

I am aware that there is a wo...

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.

Quick. Name ten dead redheads...

Quick. Name ten dead redheads.

Once you establish a look, and once everybody recognizes that look as your look, you never have to think about fashion again.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

Being asked what animal you'd...

Being asked what animal you'd like to be is a trick question; you're already an animal.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

If our subconscious was attractive, we wouldn't have to bury it down deep within us.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

I will say that my days are s...

I will say that my days are spent solitary and somewhat lost in thought, and every single time I inadvertently wear my shirt inside out in public, I bump into my sister-in-law at the grocery store.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

Fondue sets, martini shakers ...

Fondue sets, martini shakers and juicing machines: three things the world could live completely without.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

Unhappiness is something we a...

Unhappiness is something we are never taught about; we are taught to expect happiness, but never a Plan B to use to use when the happiness doesn't arrive.
