The lucky ones are just born dead.
Chuck Palahniuk
Deliver me from Swedish furniture. Deliver me from clever art. And the phone rang and Tyler answered. If you don't know what you want, the doorman said, you end up with a lot you don't. May I never be complete. May I never be content. May I never be perfect. Deliver me, Tyler, from being perfect and complete.
Chuck Palahniuk
Masochism is a valuable job skill.
Chuck Palahniuk
I admire addicts. In a world where everybody is waiting for some blind, random disaster or some sudden disease, the addict has the comfort of knowing what will most likely wait for him down the road. He's taken some control over his ultimate fate, and his addiction keeps the cause of his death from being a total surprise.

You know how they say you only hurt the ones you love? Well, it works both ways.
Chuck Palahniuk

Chuck Palahniuk
Drugs or overeating or alcohol or sex, it was all just another way to find peace. To escape what we know. Our education. Our bite of the apple.
Chuck Palahniuk
I disconnect the telephone to keep the outside world in it's correct place.
Chuck Palahniuk
The only reason why we ask other people how their weekend was is so we can tell them about our own weekend.
Chuck Palahniuk
I am nothing, and not even that.
Chuck Palahniuk
Some stories, she’d say, the more you tell them, the faster you use them up. Those kind, the drama burns off, and every version, they sound more silly and flat. The other kind of story, it uses you up. The more you tell it, the stronger it gets. Those kind of stories only remind you how stupid you were. Are. Will always be.
Chuck Palahniuk
Schools of science and physics replacing each other at a faster and faster rate. Just the nature of our world is constant revision, constant...negation of previous beliefs, and so...the whole world is a twist ending. Every week is a twist ending.
Chuck Palahniuk
I went to sexaholics anonymous for six months. For research. I wanted to see the structure of the groups, how they were conducted, and what the atmosphere was like, and also to be able to describe the people as human beings, rather than as the dirty jokes that they are in our culture.
Chuck Palahniuk
If you could be either God’s worst enemy or nothing, which would you choose?
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
If you look at old pictures, Irene Casey is so pretty. Not just young, but pretty the way you look when your face goes smooth, the skin around your eyes and lips relaxed, the pretty you only look when you love the person taking the picture.
Chuck Palahniuk
Find good in what the world says is evil.
Chuck Palahniuk
Part of her doing suicide intervention is my caseworker has to mix me another gin and tonic.
