Douglas Coupland
“After you're dead and buried and floating around whatever place we go to, what's going to be your best memory of earth? What one moment for you defines what it's like to be alive on this planet. What's your takeaway? Fake yuppie experiences that you had to spend money on, like white water rafting or elephant rides in Thailand don't count. I want to hear some small moment from your life that proves you're really alive.”
Douglas Coupland, Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture

Douglas Coupland
“Do you think we enjoy hearing about your brand-new million-dollar home when we can barely afford to eat Kraft Dinner sandwiches in our own grimy little shoe boxes and we're pushing thirty? A home you won in a genetic lottery, I might add, sheerly by dint of your having been born at the right time in history? You'd last about ten minutes if you were my age these days.”
Douglas Coupland, Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture

Douglas Coupland
“I'd sooner have died than admit that the most valuable thing I owned was a fairly extensive collection of German industrial music dance mix EP records stored for even further embarrassment under a box of crumbling Christmas tree ornaments in a Portland, Oregon basement. So I told him I owned nothing of any value.”
Douglas Coupland, Generatie X: vertellingen voor een versnelde cultuur

“What if the kid you bullied at school, grew up, and turned out to be the only surgeon who could save your life?”

“As the expression goes, we spend our youth attaining wealth, and our wealth attaining youth.”
