More quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
Give me rampant intellectualism as a coping mechanism.
Chuck Palahniuk
I hate how I don't feel real enough unless people are watching.
Chuck Palahniuk
No, Miss Wright didn't want to meet her kid. To her, that relationship was just as important, just as ideal and impossible as it would be to the child. She'd expect that young man to be perfect, smart, and talented, everything to compensate for all the mistakes that she'd made. The whole wasted, unhappy mess of her life.
Chuck Palahniuk
I write because it's a way of presenting something without having to be there.
Chuck Palahniuk
Everyone thinks their whole life should be at least as much fun as masturbation.
Chuck Palahniuk
Because I can't hit bottom, I can't be saved.
Chuck Palahniuk
My theory is that church used to be that place. Instead of being a place where you went to look good, it was a place where you could risk going every week to look your worst.
Chuck Palahniuk
Self improvement is masturbation.
Chuck Palahniuk
I just want one person I can rescue and I want one person who needs me. Who can't live without me. I want to be a hero, but not just one time.
Chuck Palahniuk
Sobriety is okay enough, Denny says, but someday, I'd like to live a life based on doing good stuff instead of just not doing bad stuff. You know?
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
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?
Chuck Palahniuk
What you have to consider is the possibility that God doesn't like you. Could be, God hates us. This is not the worst thing that could happen.
Chuck Palahniuk
Every day: Wear sunblock. Cover your gray. Do not go insane. Eat less fats and sugars. Do more sit-ups. Don’t start forgetting stuff. Trim the hair in your ears. Take calcium. Moisturize. Every day. Freeze in time to stay in one place forever. Do not get frigging old.
Chuck Palahniuk
The gyms you go to are crowded with guys trying to look like men, as if being a man means looking the way a sculptor or an art director says.
Chuck Palahniuk
Everyone is equal and everyone is forced to participate you can't just be a spectator.
Chuck Palahniuk
Scratch any fortune and you'll find blood only a generation or two back...child labor in mines or mills...Slavery. Drugs. Stock swindles. Wasting nature with clear-cuts, pollution, harvesting to extinction. Monopolies. Disease. War. Every fortune comes out of something unpleasant.
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
It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything.
Chuck Palahniuk
Imagine a plague you catch through your ears.
