Chuck Palahniuk
I can manage my own pain. I can drink. I can go to the doctor and get a prescription. I can exercise. I can write a story about it. I've done it a million times! But I don't want to see the people I love tortured and suffering.
Chuck Palahniuk
There are people out there who will not read books, but somehow they'll read my books.
Chuck Palahniuk
The things you used to own, now they own you.
Chuck Palahniuk
Because nothing is as good as you can imagine it. No one is as beautiful as she is in your head. Nothing is as exciting as your fantasy.
Chuck Palahniuk
New carpet will exude poisonous formaldehyde for up to two years after it'd been laid. I know the feeling.
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
Game shows are designed to make us feel better about the random, useless facts that are all we have left of our education.
Chuck Palahniuk
I'm not sure what we're running from. Nobody. Or the future. Fate. Growing up. Getting old. Picking up the pieces. As if running we won't have to get on with our lives.
Chuck Palahniuk
