More quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
Today is just one of those days the sun comes out to really humiliate you.
Chuck Palahniuk

Chuck Palahniuk
Any time some well-meaning person forces you to demonstrate you have no talent and rubs your nose in the fact you're a failure at the only dream you ever had, take another drink.
Chuck Palahniuk
There are worse things you can do to people you love than kill them.
Chuck Palahniuk
Someday you will die, and until you know that, you're useless to me.
Chuck Palahniuk
Optimism is the first symptom that any disease is fatal.
Chuck Palahniuk
You can say anything if enough people will listen.
Chuck Palahniuk
Don't do what you want. Do what you don't want. Do what you're trained not to want. Do the things that scare you the most.
Chuck Palahniuk
Folks build a reputation by attacking you while you’re alive - or praising you after you ain’t.
Chuck Palahniuk
Every woman is just a different kind of problem.
Chuck Palahniuk
It's exhausting, the energy it takes to unknow a truth.
Chuck Palahniuk
The gyms you go to are crowded with guys trying to look like men, as if being a man means looking the way a sculptor or an art director says.
