Douglas Coupland Quotes

And then I felt sad because I realized that once 

people are broken in certain ways, they can not 

ever be fixed, and this is something nobody ever 

tells you when you are young and it never fails 

to surprise you as you grow older as you see the 

people in your life break once by one. You wonder 

when your turn is going to be, or it itàs already happened.

lives, Andy, a stranger who unwittingly 

possesses a bizarre hold over you. Maybe

who stamps your book at the library - a stranger

who, if you were to come home and find a message

from them on your answering machine saying.

"Drop everthing. I love. Come away with me

now to Florida," You'd follow them.

when we expected the worst. But then the worst

happened, did it not ? And so we will never be

surprised again.

Douglas Coupland Quotes

I decided at 40 I was wasting entire chunks

of my brain and did not want to blow my one

chance on Earth. I am glad I made that decision.

is largely about space. Sometimes, as with film,

the time part.
