There are people out there who will not read books, but somehow they'll read my books.
Chuck Palahniuk
The photographer in my head says: Give me peace. Flash. Give me release. Flash.
Chuck Palahniuk
Scratch any fortune and you'll find blood only a generation or two back...child labor in mines or mills...Slavery. Drugs. Stock swindles. Wasting nature with clear-cuts, pollution, harvesting to extinction. Monopolies. Disease. War. Every fortune comes out of something unpleasant.
Chuck Palahniuk
Yes, terrible things happen, but sometimes those terrible things - they save you.
Chuck Palahniuk
The best fights don't occur between strangers. They occur between friends who trust each other.
Chuck Palahniuk
Deliver me from Swedish furniture. Deliver me from clever art. And the phone rang and Tyler answered. If you don't know what you want, the doorman said, you end up with a lot you don't. May I never be complete. May I never be content. May I never be perfect. Deliver me, Tyler, from being perfect and complete.
Chuck Palahniuk
Maybe it's just a daughter's job to piss off her mother.
Chuck Palahniuk
No, none of us seem so very real. We're only supporting characters in the lives of each other. Any real truth, any precious fact will always be lost in a mountain of shattered make-believe.
Chuck Palahniuk
This would be...a book that would be a trapdoor down into some place dark. A place only you could go, alone, when you opened the cover. Because only books have that power.
Chuck Palahniuk
The greatest weapon any warrior can carry into battle is absolute certainty of her eternal soul.
Chuck Palahniuk
Isn't a kid alive who doesn't dream about rewarding her folks, or punishing them.
Chuck Palahniuk
In the big factory of perfecting human souls, the Earth was kind of tumbler. The sale as the kind people use to polish rocks. All souls come here to rub the sharp edges off each other. This isn't suffering. It's erosion.
Chuck Palahniuk
Everything is funnier in retrospect, funnier and prettier and cooler. You can laugh at anything from far enough away.
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
You know that old phrase ‘Those who don’t remember the past are condemned to repeat it’? Well, I think those who remember the past are even worse off.
Chuck Palahniuk
Demon or angel or evil spirit, I just need something to show itself. Ghoulie or ghosty or long-legged beastie, I just want my hand held.
Chuck Palahniuk
I'm a toxic waste byproduct of God's creation.
Chuck Palahniuk
What kind of dining set defines me as a person?
Chuck Palahniuk
Why is it you feel like a dope if you laugh alone, but that's usually how you end up crying?
Chuck Palahniuk
If you knew that your life was merely a phase or short, short segment of your entire existence, how would you live? Knowing nothing 'real' was at risk, what would you do? You'd live a gigantic, bold, fun, dazzling life. You know you would. That's what the ghosts want us to do - all the exciting things they no longer can.
