More quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
The last story you should write is the most important story. You should start with a story that is just an amusing, entertaining, fun story to write and learn your writing chops with the least important things before you start applying them to the most important things.
Chuck Palahniuk
Idiot people like Angel Delaporte who look for a supernatural reason for ordinary events, those people drive Misty nuts.
Chuck Palahniuk
Nothing of me is original. I am the combined effort of everyone I've ever known.
Chuck Palahniuk
Not everything is about money. You didn't even say, hello. You are not your sad little wallet.
Chuck Palahniuk
Every character sees the world through a framework of education and experience that they're proud experts about. To write a character, find out what they know best, and THEN you'll know how they'll describe a hot day. Or a pretty girl.
Chuck Palahniuk
As we grow older I always think, why didn't I do more when I was young, why didn't I risk more?
Chuck Palahniuk
I write because it's a way of presenting something without having to be there.
Chuck Palahniuk
The rules that I adhere to are the rules of minimalism. And those rules kind of force writing to be more filmic... to have the immediacy and accessibility of film so that the reader really has to fill in a lot of the details.
Chuck Palahniuk
It's because we're so trapped in our culture, in the being of being human on this planet with the brains we have, and the same two arms and legs everybody has. We're so trapped that any way we could imagine to escape would be just another part of the trap. Anything we want, we're trained to want.
Chuck Palahniuk
That's what I love about fire, how it would kill me as quick as anybody else. How it can't know I'm its mother. It's so beautiful and powerful and beyond feeling anything for anybody, that's what I love about fire.
Chuck Palahniuk
No, Miss Wright didn't want to meet her kid. To her, that relationship was just as important, just as ideal and impossible as it would be to the child. She'd expect that young man to be perfect, smart, and talented, everything to compensate for all the mistakes that she'd made. The whole wasted, unhappy mess of her life.
Chuck Palahniuk
Every woman is just a different kind of problem.
Chuck Palahniuk
Give me rampant intellectualism as a coping mechanism.
Chuck Palahniuk
I see the strongest and the smartest men who have ever lived... and these men are pumping gas and waiting tables.
Chuck Palahniuk
Really, just looking around, you feel a twinge of pity for the poor souls who succeeded in getting past the Pearly Gates. One can't help but picture the lackluster VIP lounge in Heaven, a kind of nonalcoholic ice-cream social starring Harriet Beecher Stowe and Mahatma Gandhi. Hardly anyone's idea of a with-it social register.
Chuck Palahniuk
A good story should make you laugh, and a moment later break your heart.
Chuck Palahniuk
The weather today is partly angry, leading to resignation and ultimatums.
Chuck Palahniuk
Everyone thinks their whole life should be at least as much fun as masturbation.
Chuck Palahniuk
There are bodies buried everywhere you just have to know where to look.
Chuck Palahniuk
A writer’s job is to cultivate what can go wrong.
