Chuck Palahniuk
In the big factory of perfecting human souls, the Earth was kind of tumbler. The sale as the kind people use to polish rocks. All souls come here to rub the sharp edges off each other. This isn't suffering. It's erosion.
Chuck Palahniuk
Don't do what you want. Do what you don't want. Do what you're trained not to want. Do the things that scare you the most.
Chuck Palahniuk
You couldn't have small, dying children in a movie without really bringing everyone down, but you can in comics.
Chuck Palahniuk
No, it's not fair, but what makes Earth feel like Hell is our expectation that it should feel like Heaven. Earth is earth. Dead is dead. You'll find out for yourself soon enough. It won't help the situation for you to get all upset.
Chuck Palahniuk
The truth is, every son raised by a single mom is pretty much born married. I don't know, but until your mom dies it seems like all the other women in your life can never be more than just your mistress.
Chuck Palahniuk
The truth is you can be orphaned again and again and again. The truth is, you will be. And the secret is, this will hurt less and less each time until you can't feel a thing. Trust me on this.

Imagine books and music and movies being filtered and homogenized. Certified. Approved for consumption. People will be happy to give up most of their culture for the assurance that the tiny bit that comes through is safe and clean. White noise.
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
You can't be beautiful, Brandy says about a thousand times, until you feel beautiful.
Chuck Palahniuk
It's easy to attack and destroy an act of creation. It's a lot more difficult to perform one.
Chuck Palahniuk
Do you know why most survivors of the Holocaust are vegan? It's because they know what it's like to be treated like an animal.
Chuck Palahniuk
If there’s any trick to doing a job you hate . . . Mrs. Clark says it’s to find a job you hate even more.
Chuck Palahniuk
Kids grow up connected to nothing these days, plugged in and living lives boosted to them from other people.
Chuck Palahniuk
Idiot people like Angel Delaporte who look for a supernatural reason for ordinary events, those people drive Misty nuts.
Chuck Palahniuk
My books are always about someone obtaining a power to replace the previous sort of power that they held.
Chuck Palahniuk
Most guys will fight to know you. Some guys will deny you're a real person, and some will just ignore you. The zealot. The atheist. The agnostic.
Chuck Palahniuk
The more things you own, the more they own you.
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
At That Moment, it seemed the whole world cared what happened to him. All those people were hugging him and petting his hair. Everybody asked if he was okay. It seemed that moment would last forever. That you had to risk your life to get love. You had to get right to the edge of death to ever be saved.
Chuck Palahniuk
