More quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
Don't rush or force the ending. All you have to know is the next scene, or the next few scenes.
Chuck Palahniuk
We come from a generation of people who need their TV or stereo playing all the time. These people so scared of silence. These soundaholics, these quietophobics.
Chuck Palahniuk
The amazing miracle of death, when one second you're walking and talking, and the next second you're an object.
Chuck Palahniuk
Don't write about your most emotionally charged moment as a learning thing.
Chuck Palahniuk
My books are more about people experimenting with different identities and social models in a short-term way before they can break through to something authentic.
Chuck Palahniuk
Why should I believe any of this?' It happens that fast. I say, because I think I like you. Marla says, 'Not love?' This is a cheesy enough moment, I say. Don't push it.
Chuck Palahniuk
So this is why I write. Because most times, your life isn’t funny the first time through. Most times, you can hardly stand it. That’s why I write, because life never works except in retrospect. And writing makes you look back. Because since you can’t control life, at least you can control your version.
Chuck Palahniuk
HELLO! Look at me. HELLO! I am so ZEN. This is BLOOD. This is NOTHING. Hello. Everything is nothing, and it's so cool to be ENLIGHTENED. Like me.
Chuck Palahniuk
You have to give up! you have to give up! You have to realize that someday you will die, Until you know that, you are useless!
Chuck Palahniuk
It's easy to cry when you realize that everyone you love will reject you or die.
Chuck Palahniuk
I often need physical gesture to balance dialogue. If I write in public, every time I need to know what a character is doing with his hand or foot, I can look up and study people and find compelling gestures that I can harvest. Writing in public gives you that access to a junkyard of details all around you.
Chuck Palahniuk
Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it.
Chuck Palahniuk
In a world where billions believe their deity conceived a mortal child with a virgin human, it's stunning how little imagination most people display.
Chuck Palahniuk
There's still a thousand places I haven't gone to die.
Chuck Palahniuk
Brandy is so attractive you could chop her head off and put it on blue velvet in the window at Tiffany's and somebody would buy it for a million dollars.
Chuck Palahniuk
You can’t fool people into loving you.
Chuck Palahniuk
A male chauvinist pig isn't born, he's made, and more and more of them are being made by women.
Chuck Palahniuk
You gain power by pretending to be weak.
Chuck Palahniuk
No, none of us seem so very real. We're only supporting characters in the lives of each other. Any real truth, any precious fact will always be lost in a mountain of shattered make-believe.
Chuck Palahniuk
Love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, I'll be anybody you want me to be. Use me. Change me. I can be thin with big breasts and big hair. Take me apart. Make me into anything, but just love me.
