Chuck Palahniuk
My books are more about people experimenting with different identities and social models in a short-term way before they can break through to something authentic.
Chuck Palahniuk
Torture is torture and humiliation is humiliation only when you choose to suffer.
Chuck Palahniuk
The world can be a lot better than we settle for. All you have to do is ask.
