Chuck Palahniuk
A good story should change the way you see the world.
Chuck Palahniuk
Narrator: You had to give it to him: he had a plan. And it started to make sense, in a Tyler sort of way. No fear. No distractions. The ability to let that which does not matter truly slide.
Chuck Palahniuk
It's because we're so trapped in our culture, in the being of being human on this planet with the brains we have, and the same two arms and legs everybody has. We're so trapped that any way we could imagine to escape would be just another part of the trap. Anything we want, we're trained to want.
Chuck Palahniuk
I used rebellion as a way to hide out. We use criticism as a fake participation.
Chuck Palahniuk

Chuck Palahniuk
You gain power by pretending to be weak. By contrast, you make people feel strong. You save people by letting them save you.
Chuck Palahniuk
When you're an addict, you can go without feeling anything except drunk or stoned or hungry. Still, when you compare this to other feelings, to sadness, anger, fear, worry, despair, and depression, well, an addiction no longer looks so bad. It looks like a very viable option.
Chuck Palahniuk
The best way to waste your life, is by taking notes. The easiest way to avoid living is to just watch. Look for the details. Report. Don't participate.
Chuck Palahniuk
Every time I write something, I think, this is the most offensive thing I will ever write. But no. I always surprise myself.
Chuck Palahniuk
By the time you read this, you'll be older than you remember.
Chuck Palahniuk
What you have to consider is the possibility that God doesn't like you. Could be, God hates us. This is not the worst thing that could happen.
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
The evil queen was stupid to play Snow White's game. There's an age where a woman has to move on to another kind of power. Money, for example. Or a gun.
Chuck Palahniuk
I admire addicts. In a world where everybody is waiting for some blind, random disaster or some sudden disease, the addict has the comfort of knowing what will most likely wait for him down the road. He's taken some control over his ultimate fate, and his addiction keeps the cause of his death from being a total surprise.
Chuck Palahniuk
When someone walks in and you say a six-foot-tall man, you miss the opportunity to describe what a six-foot-tall man would look like to your narrator, because how the narrator describes a six-foot-tall man says more about the narrator than about the man.
