Author of quotes: Douglas Coupland

You know, my whole life I have struggled with loneliness. On a daily basis. Then it went to the rear, and crept into my dreams. I began to think that I was jinxed, hexed, bewitched voodoo priests, and sentenced to eternal loneliness.

Being an adult is largely the need to put up with the inconsistency, irrationality, and even the strangeness of their own feelings and thoughts. Adolescence also is a time when we live for the sake of some imaginary viewers.

- Richard, the future is not such a good place. Don't know how to explain it. It is violent, or what? Tonight I saw it. We've all been there. I saw... no, we are not tortured, not tortured, we were all still alive, and that's... all are older... middle-aged or something, but... "meaning" has disappeared. And we didn't even notice. We ourselves are meaningless.

Purpose is what we are trying to find. The future has not yet arrived. Submission to the rock - a lot of suckers.

Most people don't learn anything in his path. And if they succeed in something to enter, they tend to forget learned, when it is more profitable. Most, even after a second chance, successfully pokrivaet it. This is one of the fundamental laws of the universe, and there is nothing you will do about it. People, I have noticed it myself, manage to almost anything not to kick in and for the third time already spent wasted an enormous amount of time, money, energy and most of his youth, and everything else - you can list. And still they learn something that in the end just fine.

The man, whose life was not Tested, lived it in vain.

- You say that every year. Maybe enough for you to clip coupons and pretend to be poor.
- I let it to us, native. We like to portray of the poor.

in our days destroy becomes everything: dates, jobs, parties, weather... Maybe the fact that we no longer believe in our planet? And maybe, we were promised heaven on earth and the reality can not compete with dreams?
Maybe we were ripped off. How to know how to know...

Your mother and I were honeymooning like tramps, walking on broken-down "Monte-Carlo" in 1978, rented. We stayed in a dirty, questionable motels on all Appalachian and imagined themselves as the criminals, mired in a world of crime,- we are held hostage of artificial satellites, cranked religious telaafar and down along the glass facade of the "Caesar's Palace" with the Adidas bags stuffed with stolen diamonds. In North Carolina we bought a gun and fired on road signs; we refused baths and showers, Priska under mouse "Eternity" Calvin Klein, we have lost money in Church lotteries and ate catfish, fried in boiling fat. It was ten days when it was not necessary to be yourself when you could be invisible and free.

Everyone in life is "the secret Lord," Andy, someone who has, unwittingly, inexplicable power over you. It could be the guy in shorts, trimming your lawn, or woman, outstanding book in the library, barely familiar person that you would follow if one day, came home and found on my answering machine, his message: "Drop everything. I love you. Went along to Florida".

Karen, when I hear your voice - as if someone pours on my heart a pile of pearls. So.

- Do you have wine?
- Red or white?
White.
I got a bottle from the fridge, poured a glass of Reg, he drank and blissfully grunted:
- A-a-a blessed vitamin VI.

Remember how to build in the head the plans for how not to go crazy with old age. "If you go to the movies at least twice a week: once alone, the second with a friend, you can spend two nights", "don't call very often married girlfriends, and not scare them with his despair." "don't agree to be the godmother for children too many of your friends, or turn into the old maid of the jokes, don't drink more than three glasses a day: you are too fond of alcohol, and sleep long."

If people were braver, they'd wear costumes every day, not just on Halloween. To live would be much more interesting. And for that matter, why are we not doing? Who told us to dress in rags boring three hundred and sixty four days a year? Just imagine how easy it would be to make acquaintance. People will be much easier to speak - just like with dogs: "Oh, great costume! I also love vampires. How about a beer?" Masquerade - another way to stir people.
