Every human being you see in ...

Every human being you see in the course of a day has a problem that's sucking up at least 70 percent of his or her radar.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

I always thought of words as ...

I always thought of words as art supplies.

The modern economy isn't about the redistribution of wealth, it's about the redistribution of time.

We decided that the French could never write user-friendly software because they're so rude.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

I don't like telephones: I do...

I don't like telephones: I don't like when they ring. Just because it rings, you have to pick it up. I don't even like opening mail; I'm weird.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

I connect fashion to other pe...

I connect fashion to other peoples' elegance, but not my own. I don't think I've ever felt elegant. I've felt appropriate, but never elegant, and I wonder what that must be like. I like it when other people are elegant - I prefer it - but I can't do it myself. I honestly think it's some form of autistic disorder.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

The neighborhood I grew up in...

The neighborhood I grew up in had this fence that surrounds the watershed. And if you go on the other side of that fence, there's nothing until the North Pole and down to Siberia. It's the absolute cutoff point between man and nature.

If God drives a car, He'd drive a 1973 Ford LTD Brougham sedan with a claret-colored vinyl roof, with oxblood leather upholstery and an opera window.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

I decided at 40 I was wasting...

I decided at 40 I was wasting entire chunks of my brain and didn't want to blow my one chance on Earth. I'm glad I made that decision. Writing is largely about time, while visual art is largely about space. Sometimes, as with film, you can hybridize, but I think it's basically the space part of my brain wanting equal footing with the time part.

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 that in the future, c...

I think that in the future, clocks won't say three o'clock anymore. They'll just get right to the point and rename three o'clock 'Pepsi.'

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

Nothing very very good and no...

Nothing very very good and nothing very very bad ever lasts for very very long.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

Vancouver is the square root ...

Vancouver is the square root of negative one. Technically it shouldn't exist, but it does. I can't imagine living anywhere else.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

You can't get mad at weather ...

You can't get mad at weather because weather's not about you. Apply that lesson to most other aspects of life.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

Forget sex or politics or religion, loneliness is the subject that clears out a room.

Lottery tickets are a surtax on desperation.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

I think that to acknowledge a...

I think that to acknowledge a new generation is to acknowledge some degree of obsolescence in yourself, and that is very hard to do and often comes with undeniable anger.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

Long lives aren't natural. We...

Long lives aren't natural. We forget that senior citizens are as much an invention as toasters or penicillin.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

There's a lot to be said for having a small manageable dream.

If you have an impulse to kindness, act on it.
