Isn't a kid alive who doesn't dream about rewarding her folks, or punishing them.
Chuck Palahniuk
My writing process isn't a very organized thing. The actual writing part is a tiny part of my life. I often write in public. I bring my laptop or write freehand in notebooks. Then, I'll read through them while I exercise or walk the dog. The very last thing I do is the sitting alone at the computer part.
Chuck Palahniuk
It’s weird to think the place where we’re standing will only be a point in the sky.
Chuck Palahniuk
I realized that my book readings were boring me. I was going to go up there and read a passage and sleepwalk through the whole event and I needed to make it more interesting. I wanted to be running and jumping and do something so that the event would be so exciting. I had to trick myself into having fun every time.
Chuck Palahniuk
It's easy to attack and destroy an act of creation. It's a lot more difficult to perform one.
Chuck Palahniuk
Love and life belongs to great risk.
Chuck Palahniuk
Some of the best ideas I get seem to happen when I'm doing mindless manual labor or exercise. I'm not sure how that happens, but it leaves me free for remarkable ideas to occur.
Chuck Palahniuk
A knife, it felt like a knife, and I'd discovered that despite everything that's happened, I still had an endless untapped potential for getting hurt.
Chuck Palahniuk
The problem with every story is you tell it after the fact.
