More quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
On a night without moon or stars you can't see a thing, but you can imagine anything.
Chuck Palahniuk
When we die, these are the stories still on our lips. The stories we’ll only tell strangers, someplace private in the padded cell of midnight. These important stories, we rehearse them for years in our head but never tell. These stories are ghosts, bringing people back from the dead. Just for a moment. For a visit. Every story is a ghost.
Chuck Palahniuk
A baby is such a blank slate, like training the understudy for a role you're planning to leave. You truly hope your replacement will do the play justice, but in secret you want future critics to say you played the character better.
Chuck Palahniuk
Don't do this. I love you. Don't shut me out.
Chuck Palahniuk
Burn the Louvre, and wipe your ass with the Mona Lisa. This way at least, God would know our names.

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

Chuck Palahniuk
Discovering the 'impossible' ending to a new book makes me sick with joy and relief.
Chuck Palahniuk
You humiliate a rich person and they're still rich. You humiliate a brilliant person and they're still smart. A person who is well connected is still the king of England. But if you humiliate a young person, you take away the only form of power they have.
Chuck Palahniuk
Being tired isn't the same as being rich, but most times it's close enough.
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
I don't care what they do with my book so long as the flippin check clears.
Chuck Palahniuk
You ever wonder when God's coming back with a lot of barbecue sauce?
Chuck Palahniuk
It's okay to cry as long as you're faking it.
Chuck Palahniuk
She drank a glass of wine and looked for something new to ruin with her lack of talent.
Chuck Palahniuk
In truth, the degree of anyone's success depends on how often they can say the word yes and hear the word no.
Chuck Palahniuk
If emotion can create a physical action, then duplicating the physical action can re-create the emotion.
Chuck Palahniuk
When nobody will look at you, you can stare a hole in them. Picking out all the little details you'd never stare long enough to get if they'd even just return your gaze, this, this is your revenge.
Chuck Palahniuk
The future you have, tomorrow, won't be the same future you had, yesterday.
Chuck Palahniuk
