Chuck Palahniuk
Without access to true chaos, we'll never have true peace. Unless everything can get worse, it won't get any better.
Chuck Palahniuk
When someone walks in and you say a six-foot-tall man, you miss the opportunity to describe what a six-foot-tall man would look like to your narrator, because how the narrator describes a six-foot-tall man says more about the narrator than about the man.
Chuck Palahniuk

Because nothing is as good as you can imagine it. No one is as beautiful as she is in your head. Nothing is as exciting as your fantasy.
Chuck Palahniuk
Personal identity seems like it's just such an American archetype, from Holly Golightly re-inventing herself in 'Breakfast At Tiffany's' to Jay Gatsby in 'The Great Gatsby.' It seems like the sort of archetypal American issue. If you're given the freedom to be anything, or be anyone, what do you do with it?
Chuck Palahniuk
The whole world is a disaster waiting to happen.
Chuck Palahniuk
If you're not drunk and half naked by this point, you're not paying attention.
Chuck Palahniuk
People used what they called a telephone because they hated being close together and they were scared of being alone.
Chuck Palahniuk
The only thing that separates us from the animals... is we have pornography.
Chuck Palahniuk
The money is in television. Books are not the dominant medium of our time, so fewer people will create them. In a sad way, books have become a form of comfort food we expect to lull us to sleep.
Chuck Palahniuk
The truth is, every son raised by a single mom is pretty much born married. I don't know, but until your mom dies it seems like all the other women in your life can never be more than just your mistress.
Chuck Palahniuk
You can say anything if enough people will listen.
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
At That Moment, it seemed the whole world cared what happened to him. All those people were hugging him and petting his hair. Everybody asked if he was okay. It seemed that moment would last forever. That you had to risk your life to get love. You had to get right to the edge of death to ever be saved.
Chuck Palahniuk
