More quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
Or maybe...just maybe this whole process is our training wheels towards something bigger. If we can reflect and know our lives, we might stay awake and shape our futures.
Chuck Palahniuk
My writing process isn't a very organized thing. The actual writing part is a tiny part of my life. I often write in public. I bring my laptop or write freehand in notebooks. Then, I'll read through them while I exercise or walk the dog. The very last thing I do is the sitting alone at the computer part.
Chuck Palahniuk
More and more people are defining themselves not by what they are about, but by what they are against, what they are overcoming, the thing that is wrong with them.
Chuck Palahniuk
I can manage my own pain. I can drink. I can go to the doctor and get a prescription. I can exercise. I can write a story about it. I've done it a million times! But I don't want to see the people I love tortured and suffering.
Chuck Palahniuk
Everything is funnier in retrospect, funnier and prettier and cooler. You can laugh at anything from far enough away.
Chuck Palahniuk
Life's greatest comfort is being able to look over your shoulder and see people worse off, waiting in line behind you.
Chuck Palahniuk
Someday you will die, and until you know that, you're useless to me.
Chuck Palahniuk
If you take my stuff apart, you'll find my choruses of repetitions are picked up almost verbatim from Kurt Vonnegut, and my distanced fracture quality is all from Amy Hempel, who's probably my favourite writer.
Chuck Palahniuk
Each wedding picture was less of a memento than a scar. Proof of some horror movie scenario Katherine Kenton has survived.
Chuck Palahniuk
I try to forget about the expectation that's out there and the audience listening for the next thing so that I'm not trying to please them. I've spent a huge amount of time not communicating with those folks and denying that they exist.
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
The things you used to own, now they own you.
Chuck Palahniuk
It's interesting because when David Fincher was making Fight Club, he said, It's a romance. And it really is. Almost everything I ever write is just a romance. And that needed to be sort of pointed up at the end of Fight Club. The film has a very different ending than the book does.
Chuck Palahniuk
In light this bright, after so long in the dark, everything we can see is only black and white. Only glaring shape-outlines we have to blink against.
Chuck Palahniuk
Skinny guys fight till they're burger.
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
Every stage of life has its own form of power, and we're always sort of terrified as to whether we can make the jump to the next form of power.
Chuck Palahniuk
Destruction is always an attractive idea. My brother and I used to spend weeks making models of cities so that we could destroy them in 15 minutes. There's a fantastic joy in destroying something that you've meticulously built. Then you're free to build a new thing. Destruction and creation they're inseparable.
Chuck Palahniuk
The cancer I don't have is everywhere now.
Chuck Palahniuk
Nothing of me is original. I am the combined effort of everyone I've ever known.
Chuck Palahniuk
