More quotes by Chuck Klosterman

Chuck Klosterman
As an adult, the only people who care about horror movies are academics. No one loves to talk about horror films more than somebody with a Ph.D. in cultural studies at a university.
Chuck Klosterman
The essays are very solipsistic and self-absorbed, I'm totally conscious of that. To me, book writing is fun, and I basically just write about things that are entertaining to myself.
Chuck Klosterman
Who Am I? Or (Perhaps More Accurately) Who Else Could Be Me?
Chuck Klosterman
It is important to have questionable friends you can trust unconditionally.

Chuck Klosterman
Instead, we were given a publication called the Weekly Reader, which was like a newspaper for four-foot illiterates.

Chuck Klosterman
Even eternally free people are enslaved by the process of living.
Chuck Klosterman
[On political correctness:] Any intended message mattered less than the received message, and every received message could be interpreted in whatever way the receiver wanted.
Chuck Klosterman
It was the kind of love you can only feel toward someone you don't actually know.
Chuck Klosterman
Soccer is like punk rock: The product is not necessarily terrible. The problem is the fan base.
Chuck Klosterman
I grew up on a farm, and we didn't have cable and only limited radio stations, so I wasn't inundated with culture the way people in other parts of the country were. But I was really interested in it.
Chuck Klosterman
In and of itself, nothing really matters. What matters is that nothing is ever in and of itself.
Chuck Klosterman
If Donald Trump loses badly, it could mean the end of the GOP as one of the two significant parties.
Chuck Klosterman
It has always been my belief that people are remembered for the sum of their accomplishments but defined by their singular failure.
Chuck Klosterman
To me, fear of the future means fear of technology. I have a little bit of that. I still use it, but I kind of see technology as this harmful thing that's so ingrained in my life that it sort of dictates and controls my relationship with it.
