There's still a thousand places I haven't gone to die.
Chuck Palahniuk
So this is why I write. Because most times, your life isn’t funny the first time through. Most times, you can hardly stand it. That’s why I write, because life never works except in retrospect. And writing makes you look back. Because since you can’t control life, at least you can control your version.
Chuck Palahniuk
As if you cut open a rag doll with a sill name, and found inside:Real intestines, real lungs, a beating heart and blood. A lot of hot, sticky blood.
Chuck Palahniuk
I have an experience with as many of my readers as possible that's really genuine. I love it when they write to me, and I'm able to send them things. I love meeting them in person, and even if it's only for a moment I love having that physical, touching interaction.
Chuck Palahniuk
You realize that there's no point in doing anything if nobody's watching. You wonder, if there had been a low turnout at the crucifixion, would they have rescheduled?

Books can create a depth of story, a background of information and ideas, that televison and movies can't. Sure, the television shows may shock, but only on a superficial level. They'd never risk market share to really explore the issues. They report, but don't analyze or suggest any new ways for living our lives.
Chuck Palahniuk
If you haven't already noticed, all my books are about a lonely person looking for some way to connect with other people.In a way, that is the opposite of the American Dream: to get so rich you can rise above the rabble, all those people on the freeway or, worse, the bus.
Chuck Palahniuk
Emotionally, in our minds, we get so filled with resentments where we've got a story about absolutely everything.
Chuck Palahniuk
You can say anything if enough people will listen.
Chuck Palahniuk
What if reality is nothing but some disease?
Chuck Palahniuk
We're consumers. We are by-products of a lifestyle obsession. Murder, crime, poverty, these things don't concern me. What concerns me are celebrity magazines, television with 500 channels, some guy's name on my underwear. Rogaine, Viagra, Olestra...
Chuck Palahniuk
Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it.
Chuck Palahniuk
Until you find something to fight for, you settle for something to fight against.
Chuck Palahniuk
Control the things you can control. As for the rest - God bless it all.
Chuck Palahniuk
The most boring scenes are the scenes where a character is alone.
Chuck Palahniuk
Give me lust, baby. Flash. Give me malice. Flash. Give me detached existentialist ennui. Flash. Give me rampant intellectualism as a coping mechanism. Flash.
Chuck Palahniuk
Did you ever think about life as a metaphor for television?
Chuck Palahniuk
Discovering the 'impossible' ending to a new book makes me sick with joy and relief.
Chuck Palahniuk
Yes, these are bruises from fighting and I'm okay with that.
Chuck Palahniuk
The problem with every story is you tell it after the fact.
