Chuck Palahniuk
Those who can forget the past are way ahead of the rest of us.
Chuck Palahniuk
Not everything is about money. You didn't even say, hello. You are not your sad little wallet.
Chuck Palahniuk
And it's funny how when somebody saves you, the first thing you want to do is save other people. All other people. Everybody. The kid never knew the man's name. But he never forgot that smile. Hero isn't the first word, but it's the first word that comes to mind.
Chuck Palahniuk
I spent my life attacking everything because I was too afraid to risk creating anything.
Chuck Palahniuk
What kind of dining set defines me as a person?
Chuck Palahniuk
Somehow people have been sold on the idea that only professionals can entertain them, that only professionals can sing or tell jokes. And people are cut out of this creativity loop, and creativity is being limited to these large, centralized voices.
Chuck Palahniuk
Only through destroying myself can I discover the greater power of my spirit.
Chuck Palahniuk
Think of spoiled cat food and ulcerated cankers and expired donor organs. That's how beautiful she looks.
Chuck Palahniuk
The short stories tend to be a journalistic gathering of anecdotes that are put together to make something larger.
Chuck Palahniuk
Maybe we should always assume the worst.
Chuck Palahniuk
That quest for something pretty. A cheat. A cliche. Flowers and Christmas lights, it's what we're programmed to love.
Chuck Palahniuk
