Coupland Quotes

A couple of quotes from Douglas Coupland...I finished the book, so they'll be the last for a while.

(Advice for a son who had some tough decisions to make):
"Your parents are lost. They can't help you any more. They no longer dream or feel. The only valid viewpoint for any decision is eternity."

(After one character was blaming his parents for his failures):
"Funny how you only realize how deeply events have affected you years and years after they've occurred."
