Quotes

As you grow older, it becomes harder to feel 100 percent happy; you learn all the things that can go wrong, you become superstitious about tempting fate, about bringing disaster upon your life by accidentally feeling too good one day. Doug Coupland
Doug Coupland quote: "If your life had lyrics, would they be any good?"
If your life had lyrics, would they be any good? Doug Coupland
[...] and it was like the universe had suddenly turned itself off and the world was almost holy, like life was suddenly religious, but good religious, and suddenly everyone became the best version of themselves. Doug Coupland
Life is boring. People are vengeful. Good things always end. We do so many things and we don’t know why, and if we do find out why, it’s decades later and knowing why doesn’t matter any more. Doug Coupland
This was not a good idea coming home for Christmas. I'm too old. Years ago, coming back from schools or trips, I always expected some sort of new perspective or fresh insight about the family on returning. That doesn't happen anymore-the days of revelation about my parents, at least, are over... its time to move on. I think we'd all appreciate that. Doug Coupland
My mood has changed now. And the sun has gone behind the clouds. I'm in this mood I feel occasionally... this mood where there's a very good friend nearby who I should be phoning. If only I could reach that friend and talk, then everything would be just fine. The dilemma is, of course, I just don't know who that friend is. But in my heart I know my mood is merely me feeling disconnected from my true inner self. Doug Coupland
A bland smile is like a green light at an intersection, it feels good when you get one, but you forget it the moment you're past it. Doug Coupland
But I guess the nice thing about driving a car is that the physical act of driving itself occupies a good chunk of brain cells that otherwise would be giving you trouble overloading your thinking. New scenery continually erases what came before; memory is lost, shuffled, relabeled and forgotten. Gum is chewed; buttons are pushed; windows are lowered and opened. A fast moving car is the only place where you're legally allowed to not deal with your problems. It's enforced meditation and this is... Doug Coupland
There's much to be said for feeling numb. Time passes more quickly. You eat less, and because numbness encourages laziness, you do fewer things, good or bad, and the world's probably a better place for it. Doug Coupland
If you don't have a spiritual practice in place when times are good, you can't expect to suddenly develop one during a moment of crisis. Doug Coupland
It hit him that his own form of loneliness was a luxury, one as chosen and as paid for as three weeks in Kenya's velds or a cherry red Ferrari. Real loneliness wasn't something an assistant scoped out and got a good price on. Real loneliness was smothering and it stank of hopelessness. Doug Coupland
Doug Coupland quote: "TV and the Internet are good because they keep stupid people..."
TV and the Internet are good because they keep stupid people from spending too much time out in public. Doug Coupland
Nerds get what they want when they want it, and they go psycho if it's not immediately available. Nerds overfocus. I guess that's the problem. But it's precisely this ability to narrow-focus that makes them so good at code writing... Doug Coupland
Doug Coupland quote: "Nothing very very good and nothing very very bad ever lasts..."
Nothing very very good and nothing very very bad ever lasts for very very long. Doug Coupland
Doug Coupland quote: "Eagles are seagulls with a good hairdo."
Eagles are seagulls with a good hairdo. Doug Coupland
