“I've got all my old laptops going back to my first, which was so fancy...” — Douglas Coupland Quote

“I've got all my old laptops going back to my first, which was so fancy at the time, in '93 or '94, but now it's just like a doorstop.

Meanwhile the little electrons are starting to wither away.”

“You can't fake creativity, competence, or sexual arousal.”

“Fondue sets, martini shakers and juicing machines: three things the world could live completely without.”

“Crying is really bad for your vocal cords.”

“I didn't fracture my neck, I didn't break it, but technically it's actually worse. The ligament holding the C2 ruptured, so my disc hit my spinal cord.”

“Smell was our first sense. It is even possible that being able to smell was the stimulus that took a primitive fish and turned a small lump of olfactory tissue on its nerve cord into a brain. We think because we smelled.”
