That if you could acquire enough, accomplish enough, you’d never want to own or do another thing. That if you could eat or sleep enough, you’d never need more. That if enough people loved you, you’d stop needing love.

More quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
Give me rampant intellectualism as a coping mechanism.
Chuck Palahniuk
The evil queen was stupid to play Snow White's game. There's an age where a woman has to move on to another kind of power. Money, for example. Or a gun.
Chuck Palahniuk
If people thought you were dying, they gave you their full attention.
Chuck Palahniuk
There's always the chance you could die right in the middle of your life story.
Chuck Palahniuk
I spent my life attacking everything because I was too afraid to risk creating anything.
Chuck Palahniuk
Every day: Wear sunblock. Cover your gray. Do not go insane. Eat less fats and sugars. Do more sit-ups. Don’t start forgetting stuff. Trim the hair in your ears. Take calcium. Moisturize. Every day. Freeze in time to stay in one place forever. Do not get frigging old.
Chuck Palahniuk
Just for the record, she still loves you. She wouldn't bother to torture you if she didn't.
Chuck Palahniuk
The rules that I adhere to are the rules of minimalism. And those rules kind of force writing to be more filmic... to have the immediacy and accessibility of film so that the reader really has to fill in a lot of the details.
Chuck Palahniuk
You must realize that one day you will die. Until then you are worthless.
Chuck Palahniuk
Find good in what the world says is evil.
Chuck Palahniuk
The lucky ones are just born dead.
Chuck Palahniuk
A good story should change the way you see the world.
Chuck Palahniuk
You only ask people about themselves so you can tell them about yourself.
Chuck Palahniuk
The first step - especially for young people with energy and drive and talent, but not money - the first step to controlling your world is to control your culture. To model and demonstrate the kind of world you demand to live in. To write the books. Make the music. Shoot the films. Paint the art.
Chuck Palahniuk
You realize you have no control over how you're perceived.
Chuck Palahniuk
Because I can't hit bottom, I can't be saved.
Chuck Palahniuk
I can manage my own pain. I can drink. I can go to the doctor and get a prescription. I can exercise. I can write a story about it. I've done it a million times! But I don't want to see the people I love tortured and suffering.
Chuck Palahniuk
There's still a thousand places I haven't gone to die.
Chuck Palahniuk
You think maybe if you just work harder and faster, you can hold off the chaos, but then one day you’re changing a patio light bulb with a five-year life span and you realize how you’ll only be changing this light maybe ten more times before you’ll be dead.
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.
