Chuck Palahniuk
The weather today is partly angry, leading to resignation and ultimatums.
Chuck Palahniuk
Sobriety is okay enough, Denny says, but someday, I'd like to live a life based on doing good stuff instead of just not doing bad stuff. You know?

You realize you have no control over how you're perceived.
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.

Books can create a depth of story, a background of information and ideas, that televison and movies can't. Sure, the television shows may shock, but only on a superficial level. They'd never risk market share to really explore the issues. They report, but don't analyze or suggest any new ways for living our lives.
Chuck Palahniuk
If the living are haunted by the dead, then the dead are haunted by their own mistakes.
Chuck Palahniuk
It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything.
Chuck Palahniuk
This is your life and its ending one moment at a time.
Chuck Palahniuk
Fathers. Mothers. With all their caring and attention. They will fuck you up, every time.
Chuck Palahniuk
The world can be a lot better than we settle for. All you have to do is ask.
Chuck Palahniuk
Doesn't reincarnation strike you as just another form of procrastination?
Chuck Palahniuk
A couple drinks. A couple aspirin. Repeat.
Chuck Palahniuk
Every day: Wear sunblock. Cover your gray. Do not go insane. Eat less fats and sugars. Do more sit-ups. Don’t start forgetting stuff. Trim the hair in your ears. Take calcium. Moisturize. Every day. Freeze in time to stay in one place forever. Do not get frigging old.
Chuck Palahniuk
