You realize you have no control over how you're perceived.
Chuck Palahniuk
Why should I believe any of this?' It happens that fast. I say, because I think I like you. Marla says, 'Not love?' This is a cheesy enough moment, I say. Don't push it.
Chuck Palahniuk

Chuck Palahniuk
Kids, she says. When they’re little, they believe everything you tell them about the world.

Chuck Palahniuk
Everybody's still miserable in the same way they've always been miserable, and more and more of my friends - especially my male friends - find themselves taking anti-anxiety, psychotropic drugs. It seems like everybody I know is wondering if they're really who they are, or once the prescription runs out, will they become someone different?
Chuck Palahniuk
Language is what books do very well and movement is what movies does very well.
Chuck Palahniuk
Maybe humans are just the pet alligators that God flushed down the toilet.
Chuck Palahniuk
I try to tell a story the way someone would tell you a story in a bar, with the same kind of timing and pacing.
Chuck Palahniuk
At this rate, we'll never get to the future.
Chuck Palahniuk
I still love him so much I'll hide any amount of conjugated estrogen in his food. So much I'll do anything to destroy him.
Chuck Palahniuk
Don’t ask me when because I don’t remember, but somewhere along the way I keep forgetting to commit suicide.
Chuck Palahniuk
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.
Chuck Palahniuk
