Chuck Palahniuk
You must realize that one day you will die. Until then you are worthless.
Chuck Palahniuk
If your body is a temple, you can pile up too much deferred maintenance. If your body is a temple, mine was a real fixer-upper.
Chuck Palahniuk
The police are asking through the bedroom door, why did I make a batch of strawberry daiquiris before I called them? Because we were out of raspberries. Because, can't they see, it just does not matter. Time was not of the essence.
Chuck Palahniuk
I don't want to die without any scars.

Chuck Palahniuk
The most boring thing in the entire world is nudity. The second most boring thing is honesty.

Chuck Palahniuk
If I could wake up in a different place, at a different time, could I wake up as a different person?
Chuck Palahniuk

Chuck Palahniuk
The old rule about how a thing of beauty is a joy forever, in my experience, even the most beauteous thing is only a joy for about three hours, tops. After that, she'll want to tell you all about her childhood traumas. Part of meeting these jail girls is it's so sweet to look at your watch and know she'll be behind bars in half an hour.
Chuck Palahniuk
Somehow people have been sold on the idea that only professionals can entertain them, that only professionals can sing or tell jokes. And people are cut out of this creativity loop, and creativity is being limited to these large, centralized voices.
Chuck Palahniuk
Today is just one of those days the sun comes out to really humiliate you.
Chuck Palahniuk
The first time we meet another person an insidious little voice in our heads says, I might wear eyeglasses or be chunky around the hips or a girl, but at least I'm not Gay or Black or a Jew. Meaning: I may be me- but at least I have the good sense not to be YOU.
Chuck Palahniuk
