Chuck Palahniuk
You humiliate a rich person and they're still rich. You humiliate a brilliant person and they're still smart. A person who is well connected is still the king of England. But if you humiliate a young person, you take away the only form of power they have.
Chuck Palahniuk
If Marilyn Monroe was alive right now, what would she be doing?' Clawing at the roof of her coffin.
Chuck Palahniuk
