More quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
When you're thinking about the rest of your life, you're never really thinking more than a couple years down the road.
Chuck Palahniuk
The worst part of writing fiction is the fear of wasting your life behind a keyboard. The idea that, dying, you'll realize you only lived on paper. Your only adventures were make-believe, and while the world fought and kissed, you sat in some dark room masturbating and making money.
Chuck Palahniuk
You turn up your music to hide the noise. Other people turn up their music to hide yours. You turn up yours again. Everyone buys a bigger stereo system. This is the arms race of sound. You don't win with a lot of treble.
Chuck Palahniuk
Because after you've crossed some lines, you just keep crossing them. And there's no escaping from constant escape. Distracting ourselves. Avoiding confrontation. Getting past the moment. Jacking off. Television. Denial.
Chuck Palahniuk
I have an experience with as many of my readers as possible that's really genuine. I love it when they write to me, and I'm able to send them things. I love meeting them in person, and even if it's only for a moment I love having that physical, touching interaction.
Chuck Palahniuk
There's a terrible dark joy when the only person who knows all your secrets is finally dead.
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.
Chuck Palahniuk
To see how boring you really are, write a book about soap and cults, and the profits you make will be your only means of subsistence.
Chuck Palahniuk
So here I am. This is as good as it gets. Take it or leave it.
Chuck Palahniuk
I have to have everything in my life completely fixed and perfect and cleaned up and I have to be complete with everyone in my life and I have seven days in which to do that. So I might make it to day three or four, but I've never made it all the way to day seven.
Chuck Palahniuk
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
I don't want to die without any scars.
Chuck Palahniuk
It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything.
Chuck Palahniuk
Hey, even the Mona Lisa is falling apart.
Chuck Palahniuk
Kids, she says. When they’re little, they believe everything you tell them about the world. As a mother, you’re the world almanac and the encyclopedia and the dictionary and the Bible, all rolled up together. But after they hit some magic age, it’s just the opposite. After that, you’re either a liar or a fool or a villain.
Chuck Palahniuk
No matter how much you think you love somebody, you'll step back when the pool of their blood edges up too close.
Chuck Palahniuk
I see so many tattoos of my stuff on people - tattoos of my book covers, tattoos of quotes . . . it's kind of daunting sometimes.
Chuck Palahniuk
Have your adventures, make your mistakes, and choose your friends poorly -- all these make for great stories.
Chuck Palahniuk
It's easy to cry when you realize that everyone you love will reject you or die.
Chuck Palahniuk
The world can be a lot better than we settle for. All you have to do is ask.
