Doug Coupland Quotes

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.

That which you do not know, is not a moral charge against you; but that... Ayn Rand
