Doug Coupland
  • A bland smile is like a green light at an intersection, it feels good when you get one, but you forget it the moment you're past it.

  • Technology favors horrible people.

  • The time you feel lonely is the time you most need to be by yourself.

  • There's much to be said for feeling numb. Time passes more quickly. You eat less, and because numbness encourages laziness, you do fewer things, good or bad, and the world's probably a better place for it.

  • Christmas makes everything twice as sad.
