Text Quotes
I’ve given up wanting to make a killing or be a bigshot. I just want to find happiness and maybe open up a little roadside cafe in Idaho (Douglas Coupland Quotes)
There’s nothing cute or funny or lovable about being cheap. It’s a total turn-off (Douglas Coupland Quotes)
MCJOB: A low-pay, low-prestige, low-dignity, no-future job in the service sector. Frequently considered a satisfying career choice for people who have never held one (Douglas Coupland Quotes)
The Sugar Frosted Nutsack is fantastic. It’s volcanic and sexy and utterly unlike anything I’ve read before. It feels like the future in a dazzling way that has nothing to do with looking backward. It’s been a long wait for a new novel from Mark Leyner, but worth it. Ten out of ten from me (Douglas Coupland Quotes)
In Canada, when we speak of water, we’re speaking of ourselves. Canadians are known to be unextravagant, and one explanation of this might be that we know that wasted water means a diminished collective soul; polluted waters mean a sickened soul. Water is the basis of our self-identity, and when we dream of canoes and thunderstorms and streams and even snowballs, we’re dreaming about our innermost selves (Douglas Coupland Quotes)
I mean five thousand years ago people emerge out of nowhere -sproing!- with brains and everything and begin wrecking the planet. You’d think we’d give the issue a little more thought than we do (Douglas Coupland Quotes)
The advent of cellphones may, in the end, be no more relevant than the ability of laptops to change our written documents into ones using cool new fonts (Douglas Coupland Quotes)
I kind of wonder if creativity is all morphing into one big thing that’s not even art, but something universal and bigger. (Douglas Coupland Quotes)
I began doing writing projects and art and design projects to explore a new way of seeing Canada. Roots is one more way of continuing this exploration. I want to present a wide-open Canadian sense of color, adventure, communication and openness that defines our country. (Douglas Coupland Quotes)
I was at Emily Carr College of Art and Design in Vancouver for four years, and I loved it (Douglas Coupland Quotes)
It’s sort of a law of the art world: The stuff that grows in importance is only the stuff you bought because it wowed you. (Douglas Coupland Quotes)
Humans are part of nature, and nature is one great big wood chipper. Sooner or later, everything shoots out the other end in a spray of blood, bones, and hair. (Douglas Coupland Quotes)
People say if you’re doing an art project, that’s different from a book, but I honestly don’t see it. I try and try, and I just don’t. (Douglas Coupland Quotes)
Art was always my main focus; I fell into writing by accident in the 1980s, writing magazine articles to pay for my studio. I have to put myself into the position of writing; sometimes it doesn’t work, and sometimes it works great. (Douglas Coupland Quotes)
You can’t get mad at weather because weather’s not about you. Apply that lesson to most other aspects of life. (Douglas Coupland Quotes)
I’ve had maybe 20 jobs, big and small, and I’ve never hated any of them. At the same time, the moment the learning curve flattened, I was out of there. (Douglas Coupland Quotes)
The whole point of Gen X was, and continues to be, a negation of being forced into Baby Boomerdom against one’s will. (Douglas Coupland Quotes)
Only losers make decisions when things are bad. The time to rejig your life is the time when it’s seemingly smooth. (Douglas Coupland Quotes)
I was so beautiful when I was young. And I took so few photos because I felt so skinny and ugly. I wish I’d just taken a few more shots. (Douglas Coupland Quotes)
It’s difficult to speak with beautiful people. No matter how hard you try to pretend otherwise, you still want them to like you. (Douglas Coupland Quotes)
I don’t think I see the world in terms of stupid or clever, but in terms of being able to get irony. There’s some awful statistic about only 20 per cent of Americans being able to understand irony. (Douglas Coupland 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 Quotes)
Tofu hot dogs are actually scarier than real hot dogs. It’s like wanting the worst possible meat product without even the thrill of it actually being meat. (Douglas Coupland Quotes)
...you spend a much larger part of your life being old, not young. Rules change along the way. The first things to go are those things you thought were eternal. (Douglas Coupland Quotes)
I was always the youngest person in class, skinny, scrawny, no good at sports. I asserted myself by being smart. But then I got to college and started to get C’s and D’s. That was fantastic. I no longer had to be the smartest person in the room. (Douglas Coupland Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Nature is one great big wood-chipper. Sooner or later, everything shoots out the other end in a spray of blood, bones and hair. (Douglas Coupland Quotes)
It’s a cliche, but true, that writing is intensely solitary and at times really lonely. I sit in one room and talk to squirrels and blue jays all day. (Douglas Coupland Quotes)
In Canada, we’re happy to provide a safe haven for next-door neighbors in the middle of a marital dispute. And if anyone trips while crossing the border, we’re happy to set their broken bones for free. (Douglas Coupland Quotes)
Characters in a book are very much like personalities divvied up within a family. In the end, it all averages out to a sort of overall averageness. (Douglas Coupland Quotes)
