More quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
Nothing of me is original. I am the combined effort of everyone I've ever known.
Chuck Palahniuk
Scratch any fortune and you'll find blood only a generation or two back...child labor in mines or mills...Slavery. Drugs. Stock swindles. Wasting nature with clear-cuts, pollution, harvesting to extinction. Monopolies. Disease. War. Every fortune comes out of something unpleasant.
Chuck Palahniuk
Because nothing is as good as you can imagine it. No one is as beautiful as she is in your head. Nothing is as exciting as your fantasy.

Chuck Palahniuk

Chuck Palahniuk
You always kill the one you love.
Chuck Palahniuk

Chuck Palahniuk
You can't be beautiful, Brandy says about a thousand times, until you feel beautiful.
Chuck Palahniuk
When did the future switch from being a promise to a threat?
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
The only difference between suicide and martyrdom is press coverage.
Chuck Palahniuk
This is how it is with insomnia. Everything is so far away, a copy of a copy of a copy. The insomnia distance of everything, you can't touch anything and nothing can touch you.
Chuck Palahniuk
The damaged love the damaged. True fact.
Chuck Palahniuk
The future you have, tomorrow, won't be the same future you had, yesterday.
Chuck Palahniuk
Without animals, there would be no humanity. In a world of just people, people will mean nothing . . .
