More quotes by Chuck Palahniuk

I often need physical gesture to balance dialogue. If I write in public, every time I need to know what a character is doing with his hand or foot, I can look up and study people and find compelling gestures that I can harvest. Writing in public gives you that access to a junkyard of details all around you.
Chuck Palahniuk
It’s weird to think the place where we’re standing will only be a point in the sky.
Chuck Palahniuk
Emotionally, in our minds, we get so filled with resentments where we've got a story about absolutely everything.
Chuck Palahniuk
You ever wonder when God's coming back with a lot of barbecue sauce?
Chuck Palahniuk
How much can you know about yourself if you've never been in a fight?
Chuck Palahniuk
Maybe self-improvement isn't the answer, maybe self-destruction is the answer.
Chuck Palahniuk
Because after you've crossed some lines, you just keep crossing them. And there's no escaping from constant escape. Distracting ourselves. Avoiding confrontation. Getting past the moment. Jacking off. Television. Denial.
Chuck Palahniuk
Art never comes from happiness.
Chuck Palahniuk
What I mean is sometimes, for an artist, chronic pain can be a gift.
Chuck Palahniuk
There are the most fantastic, beautiful things and people out there. It’s up to you to find them.
Chuck Palahniuk
I spent my life attacking everything because I was too afraid to risk creating anything.
Chuck Palahniuk
There will always be an underground.
