Why should I believe any of this?' It happens that fast. I say, because I think I like you. Marla says, 'Not love?' This is a cheesy enough moment, I say. Don't push it.

Taste is such a changing thing. Every age our tastes change. But the things that really last aren't necessarily the best or the worst or the most loved things, but they're the things that make the biggest impression.
Chuck Palahniuk
It's funny how the beauty of art has so much more to do with the frame than the artwork itself.
Chuck Palahniuk
The trick to forgetting the big picture is to look at everything close-up.
Chuck Palahniuk
People who don't want to get on with their lives, and don't want to accept responsibility for the direction of their lives want to hang out with other people who don't want to accept responsibility or move on, and so you find that your entire culture around you are people who are just like you, because that's what's comforting.
Chuck Palahniuk
There's an opposite to déjà vu. They call it jamais vu. It's when you meet the same people or visit places, again and again, but each time is the first. Everybody is always a stranger. Nothing is ever familiar.
Chuck Palahniuk
No, it's not fair, but what makes Earth feel like Hell is our expectation that it should feel like Heaven. Earth is earth. Dead is dead. You'll find out for yourself soon enough. It won't help the situation for you to get all upset.
Chuck Palahniuk
Demons are former celebrities who prey on their own insecurities.
Chuck Palahniuk
It's exhausting, the energy it takes to unknow a truth.
Chuck Palahniuk
I see so many tattoos of my stuff on people - tattoos of my book covers, tattoos of quotes . . . it's kind of daunting sometimes.
Chuck Palahniuk
You grow up to become living proof of your parents' limitations. Their less-than masterpiece.
Chuck Palahniuk
Stop trying to control everything and just let go! LET GO!
Chuck Palahniuk
It is a hundred-year-old witch book, bound in human skin and probably written in ancient cum...YOU lick it!
Chuck Palahniuk
No matter what else you came up against, if you could smile and laugh while a monkey did you with chestnuts in a dank concrete basement while somebody took pictures, well, any other situation would be a piece of cake
Chuck Palahniuk
Every character sees the world through a framework of education and experience that they're proud experts about. To write a character, find out what they know best, and THEN you'll know how they'll describe a hot day. Or a pretty girl.
Chuck Palahniuk
You're safe because you're so trapped inside your culture. Anything you can conceive of is fine because you can conceive of it.
Chuck Palahniuk
Everything is funnier in retrospect, funnier and prettier and cooler. You can laugh at anything from far enough away.
Chuck Palahniuk
The first time we meet another person an insidious little voice in our heads says, I might wear eyeglasses or be chunky around the hips or a girl, but at least I'm not Gay or Black or a Jew. Meaning: I may be me- but at least I have the good sense not to be YOU.
Chuck Palahniuk
People fall so in love with their pain, they can’t leave it behind. The same as the stories they tell. We trap ourselves.
Chuck Palahniuk
When we die, these are the stories still on our lips. The stories we’ll only tell strangers, someplace private in the padded cell of midnight. These important stories, we rehearse them for years in our head but never tell. These stories are ghosts, bringing people back from the dead. Just for a moment. For a visit. Every story is a ghost.
Chuck Palahniuk
There are people out there who will not read books, but somehow they'll read my books.
