More quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
That's what I love about fire, how it would kill me as quick as anybody else. How it can't know I'm its mother. It's so beautiful and powerful and beyond feeling anything for anybody, that's what I love about fire.

Chuck Palahniuk
Any time some well-meaning person forces you to demonstrate you have no talent and rubs your nose in the fact you're a failure at the only dream you ever had, take another drink.
Chuck Palahniuk
Don't do what you want. Do what you don't want. Do what you're trained not to want. Do the things that scare you the most.
Chuck Palahniuk
We come from a generation of people who need their TV or stereo playing all the time. These people so scared of silence. These soundaholics, these quietophobics.
Chuck Palahniuk
Besides, hysteria is only possible with an audience.
Chuck Palahniuk
The future you have, tomorrow, won't be the same future you had, yesterday.
Chuck Palahniuk
Everybody looks a little crazy if you're looking close enough and if you can't look that close, then you don't really love them.
Chuck Palahniuk
What would Tyler Durden do?
Chuck Palahniuk
A baby is such a blank slate, like training the understudy for a role you're planning to leave. You truly hope your replacement will do the play justice, but in secret you want future critics to say you played the character better.
Chuck Palahniuk
The trick to forgetting the big picture is to look at everything close-up.
Chuck Palahniuk
I will never write a sequel to anything that I will ever write.
Chuck Palahniuk
The whole world is a disaster waiting to happen.
