Douglas Coupland Quotes

Just then a bee bumbled above us and stole our attention the way flying things can Picture Quote #1

Lists only spell out the things that can be taken away from us by moths and rust and thieves. If something is valuable, don’t put it in a list. Don’t even say the words Picture Quote #1

Time ticks by; we grow older. Before we know it, too much time has passed and we’ve missed the chance to have had other people hurt us. To a younger me this sounded like luck; to an older me this sounds like a quiet tragedy Picture Quote #1

As I’m never going to be old, I’m glad that I never lost my sense of wonder about the world, although I have a hunch it would have happened pretty soon. I loved the world, its beauty and bigness as well as its smallness Picture Quote #1

I don’t deserve a soul, yet I still have one. I know because it hurts Picture Quote #1

We are all of us born with a letter inside us, and that only if we are true to ourselves, may we be allowed to read it before we die Picture Quote #1

We are changed souls; we don’t look at things the same way anymore. For there was a time when we expected the worst. But then the worst happened, did it not? And so we will never be surprised again Picture Quote #1

If you don’t change, then what’s the point of anything happening to you? It’ll still be happening to an unchanged person Picture Quote #1

... 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 Picture Quote #1

What I remember is the silence in spite of the noise. In my head it might just as well have been a snowy day in the country Picture Quote #1

Do you ever just want to take your car out onto the highway and gun the engine as fast as you can and then close your eyes and see what happens? Picture Quote #1

Here’s what I think: the five most unattractive traits in people are cheapness, clinginess, neediness, unwillingness to change and jealousy. Jealousy is the worst, and by far the hardest to conceal Picture Quote #1

Death without the possibility of ever changing the world is the same as a life that never was Picture Quote #1

What surprises me about humanity is that in the end such a narrow range of plights defines our moral lives Picture Quote #1

I ma trying to feel more well adjusted than I really am, which is, I guess, the human condition Picture Quote #1

I saw doves and I thought they were rocks, but they were asleep. My breath made them stir, and they rocks took flight, the earth exploding... and my only thought was that I wanted you to see them, too Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Besides, animals don’t even have time. Only humans have time. It’s what makes us different Picture Quote #1

Below a certain point, if you keep too quiet, people no longer see you as thoughtful or deep; they simply forget you Picture Quote #1

I curled myself into a ball and cried quietly, doing that thing that only young people can do, namely, feeling sorry for myself. Once you’re past thirty you lose that ability; instead of feeling sorry for yourself you turn bitter Picture Quote #1

I don’t think anyone ever gets over anything in life; they merely get used to it Picture Quote #1

Sometimes you can’t realize you’re in a bad mood until another person enters your orbit Picture Quote #1

Later, I would learn that coincidences are the most planned things in the world. Later, I would learn that every single moment is a coincidence Picture Quote #1

Anyway, I want to remember that love can happen. Because there is life after not having a life. I never expected love to happen. What was I expecting from life, then? Picture Quote #1

You’ve seen what you’ve seen; you’ve felt what you’ve felt. Ideology is for people who don’t trust their own experiences and perceptions of the world Picture Quote #1

I thought it would be such a sick joke to have to remain to be alive for decades and not believe in or feel anything Picture Quote #1

Remember how, back in 1990, if you used a cellphone in public you looked like a total asshole? We’re all assholes now Picture Quote #1

Maybe the more emotions a person experiences in their daily lives, the longer time seems to feel to them. As you get older, you experience fewer new things, and so time seems to go by faster Picture Quote #1

The belief that tomorrow is a different place from today is certainly a unique hallmark of our species Picture Quote #1

I used to care about how other people thought I led my life. But lately I’ve realized that most people are too preoccupied with their own lives to give anybody else even the scantiest of thoughts Picture Quote #1
