Each wedding picture was less of a memento than a scar. Proof of some horror movie scenario Katherine Kenton has survived.
Chuck Palahniuk
The difference between how you look and how you see yourself is enough to kill most people. And maybe the reason vampires don’t die is because they can never see themselves in photographs or mirrors.
Chuck Palahniuk
On the other side of the handrail, the hallway's gray marble floor looks as if we've climbed a stairway through the clouds.
Chuck Palahniuk
Don’t ask me when because I don’t remember, but somewhere along the way I keep forgetting to commit suicide.
Chuck Palahniuk
We just had a near-life experience!
Chuck Palahniuk
I'm really glad that I spent my twenties messing around and having disaster after disaster - with people who were doing likewise - because it's really my greatest treasure now.
Chuck Palahniuk
What kind of dining set defines me as a person?
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
Regret, Daisy knew, was the only confirmation of a well-lived life. If you didn't occasionally go too far, you weren't going anywhere.
Chuck Palahniuk
Somehow people have been sold on the idea that only professionals can entertain them, that only professionals can sing or tell jokes. And people are cut out of this creativity loop, and creativity is being limited to these large, centralized voices.
Chuck Palahniuk
I let go. Lost in oblivion. Dark and silent and complete. I found freedom. Losing all hope was freedom.
Chuck Palahniuk
I didn't use anybody's story. I used the context and the structure of the situation. People were so, so desperate to tell their story and begin to digest their experience - like turning it into a story - that after the fist few weeks I could go with a pad and pencil and take notes. People didn't seem at all bothered by that.
Chuck Palahniuk
With insomnia, you're never really awake but you're never really asleep.
Chuck Palahniuk
How I feel is cheap and used, dirty and humiliated. Dirty and tricked and thrown away.
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
The problem with every story is you tell it after the fact.
Chuck Palahniuk
Most guys will fight to know you. Some guys will deny you're a real person, and some will just ignore you. The zealot. The atheist. The agnostic.
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
Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it.
Chuck Palahniuk
Personal identity seems like it's just such an American archetype, from Holly Golightly re-inventing herself in 'Breakfast At Tiffany's' to Jay Gatsby in 'The Great Gatsby.' It seems like the sort of archetypal American issue. If you're given the freedom to be anything, or be anyone, what do you do with it?
