How much can you know about yourself if you've never been in a fight?
Chuck Palahniuk
Our purest form of joy comes when people we envy get hurt. That most genuine form of joy.
Chuck Palahniuk
Destruction is always an attractive idea. My brother and I used to spend weeks making models of cities so that we could destroy them in 15 minutes. There's a fantastic joy in destroying something that you've meticulously built. Then you're free to build a new thing. Destruction and creation they're inseparable.

I have an experience with as many of my readers as possible that's really genuine. I love it when they write to me, and I'm able to send them things. I love meeting them in person, and even if it's only for a moment I love having that physical, touching interaction.
Chuck Palahniuk
We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.

The cancer I don't have is everywhere now.
Chuck Palahniuk
With the novels, I usually start from something in my own life that I can't resolve, so I turn it into a metaphor and for months or sometimes years I'll exhaust all of my emotional reaction to this issue by making it enormous on the page.
Chuck Palahniuk
Rant Casey used to say, No matter what happens, it's always now... Talk about cryptic. I think what Rant meant was, we live in the present moment of reality, and no matter what's come before, no matter how much we loved a person or a dog, when it attacks us we'll react to that moment of danger.
Chuck Palahniuk
To merely observe your culture without contributing to it seems very close to existing as a ghost.
Chuck Palahniuk
In light this bright, after so long in the dark, everything we can see is only black and white. Only glaring shape-outlines we have to blink against.
Chuck Palahniuk
Here in your mind you have complete privacy. Here there's no difference between what is and what could be.
Chuck Palahniuk
My inventory of people who can save me is down to just me.
Chuck Palahniuk
The lower you fall, the higher you'll fly.
Chuck Palahniuk
To see how boring you really are, write a book about soap and cults, and the profits you make will be your only means of subsistence.
Chuck Palahniuk
You tell yourself that noise is what defines silence. Without noise, silence would not be golden. Noise is the exception.
Chuck Palahniuk
If the living are haunted by the dead, then the dead are haunted by their own mistakes.
Chuck Palahniuk
Do you remember when you were 10 or 11 years old and you really thought your folks were the best? They were completely omniscient and you took their word for everything. And then you got older and you went through this hideous age when suddenly they were the devil, they were bullies, and they didn't know anything.
Chuck Palahniuk
If you love something set it free, but don't be surprised if it comes back with herpes.
Chuck Palahniuk
Every day: Wear sunblock. Cover your gray. Do not go insane. Eat less fats and sugars. Do more sit-ups. Don’t start forgetting stuff. Trim the hair in your ears. Take calcium. Moisturize. Every day. Freeze in time to stay in one place forever. Do not get frigging old.
Chuck Palahniuk
The career of a movie star consists of helping everyone else forget their troubles. Using charm and beauty and good cheer to make life look easy.
