By the time you read this, you'll be older than you remember.
Chuck Palahniuk
It's because we're so trapped in our culture, in the being of being human on this planet with the brains we have, and the same two arms and legs everybody has. We're so trapped that any way we could imagine to escape would be just another part of the trap. Anything we want, we're trained to want.

This isn't about love as in caring. This is about property as in ownership.
Chuck Palahniuk
If you're not drunk and half naked by this point, you're not paying attention.
Chuck Palahniuk
This isn’t really death, Tyler says, We’ll be legend. We won’t grow old. I tongue the barrel into my cheek and say, Tyler, you’re thinking of vampires.
Chuck Palahniuk
People fall so in love with their pain, they can’t leave it behind. The same as the stories they tell. We trap ourselves.
Chuck Palahniuk
Imagine a plague you catch through your ears.
Chuck Palahniuk
These days, most of the people you hear laughing are dead.
Chuck Palahniuk
All you can do is hope for a pattern to emerge, and sometimes it never does. Still, with a plan, you only get the best you can imagine. I'd always hoped for something better than that.
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
