Chuck Palahniuk
Does it hurt very much to die? Well, sweetheart, yes, but it hurts a lot more to keep living.
Chuck Palahniuk
Discovering the 'impossible' ending to a new book makes me sick with joy and relief.
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
These flowers will be rotten in a couple hours. Birds will crap on them. The smoke here will make them stink, and tomorrow a bulldozer will probably run over them, but for right now they are so beautiful.
Chuck Palahniuk
Those who can forget the past are way ahead of the rest of us.
Chuck Palahniuk
