You turn up your music to hide the noise. Other people turn up their music to hide yours. You turn up yours again. Everyone buys a bigger stereo system. This is the arms race of sound. You don't win with a lot of treble.

Chuck Palahniuk
I don't care what they do with my book so long as the flippin check clears.

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
I am the cause of all my upsets. I am my worst enemy.
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.
Chuck Palahniuk
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
This isn't about love as in caring. This is about property as in ownership.
Chuck Palahniuk
There are the most fantastic, beautiful things and people out there. It’s up to you to find them.
Chuck Palahniuk
We live and we die and anything else is just a delusion.
Chuck Palahniuk
You had to risk your life to get love. You had to get right to the edge of death to ever be saved.
Chuck Palahniuk
We come from a generation of people who need their TV or stereo playing all the time. These people so scared of silence. These soundaholics, these quietophobics.
Chuck Palahniuk
At this rate, we'll never get to the future.
Chuck Palahniuk
You ever wonder if Adam and Eve were just the puppies God dumped because they wouldn't house-train?
