"Life was enchanted but without politics or religion.
It was the life of the children of the children of the pioneers -
life after God - a life of earthly salvation on the edge of heaven.
Perhaps this is the finest state we can strive for, a life in peace, the diffuse existance between dream and real life -
and still I feel I say these words with a sense of doubt.
"
Here is another quotation taken from Douglas Coupland's novel Life after God. If you are familiar with his other novels, I can tell you this book is more demanding and demands more of the reader. For Coupland beginners, I would recommend you start with Generation X instead. If you look at my old quotations, you'll find more Douglas Coupland quotations.
