I think writing would have happened to me anyway, somehow. Differently, but it still would have happened.

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

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 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

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

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

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

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.

You can't fake creativity, competence, or sexual arousal.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

Make your goals big and broad ...

Make your goals big and broad enough so that they never become answered prayers and boomerang to curse you.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

Forget about being world famous, it's hard enough just getting the automatic doors at the supermarket to acknowledge our existence.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

It's very strange that most people don't care if their knowledge of their family history only goes back three generations.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

People are pretty forgiving when it comes to other people's families. The only family that ever horrifies you is your own.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

Earth was not built for six bi...

Earth was not built for six billion people all running around and being passionate about things. The world was built for about two million people foraging for roots and grubs.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

If a building looks better under construction than it does when finished, then it's a failure.

Douglas Coupland 371 quotes

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

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

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

Christmas makes everything twice as sad.
