Chuck Palahniuk
Maybe it's our sins that give God consolation when he finally has to give us cancer.
Chuck Palahniuk

Chuck Palahniuk
The only difference between suicide and martyrdom is press coverage.
Chuck Palahniuk
As the stupidest person in the room, I always had the most to gain.
Chuck Palahniuk
There are people out there who will not read books, but somehow they'll read my books.
Chuck Palahniuk
The most boring scenes are the scenes where a character is alone.
Chuck Palahniuk
