Both Worlds Quotes
If he is going into management, he writes. If he is an engineer or architect why he paints or sculpts. He will straddle the line, aware up to the point of knowing he is getting the worst of both worlds, but never stopping to wonder why there should ever be a line, or even if there is a line at all.

I thought I was going to see God or reach an epiphany or to levitate or something. But I never did. I prayed so long for that tohappen.

And then thispast year I've still been waiting for the same bigcosmic moments, and still nothing's happened...
Doug Coupland
