Chuck Palahniuk
Maybe this is why so many serial killers work in pairs. It's nice not to feel alone in a world full of victims or enemies. It's no wonder Waltraud Wagner, the Austrian Angel of Death, convinced her friends to kill with her. It just seems natural. You and me against the world.
Chuck Palahniuk
A writer’s job is to cultivate what can go wrong.
Chuck Palahniuk
In a world where billions believe their deity conceived a mortal child with a virgin human, it's stunning how little imagination most people display.
