More quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
How much can you know about yourself if you've never been in a fight?
Chuck Palahniuk
I didn't use anybody's story. I used the context and the structure of the situation. People were so, so desperate to tell their story and begin to digest their experience - like turning it into a story - that after the fist few weeks I could go with a pad and pencil and take notes. People didn't seem at all bothered by that.
Chuck Palahniuk
It's my petty fear of personal rejection that allows so many true evils to exist. My cowardice enables atrocities.
Chuck Palahniuk
Don’t ask me when because I don’t remember, but somewhere along the way I keep forgetting to commit suicide.
Chuck Palahniuk
Here in your mind you have complete privacy. Here there's no difference between what is and what could be.

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

Chuck Palahniuk
The answer is there is no answer.
Chuck Palahniuk
Just for the record, she still loves you. She wouldn't bother to torture you if she didn't.
Chuck Palahniuk
This isn't about love as in caring. This is about property as in ownership.
Chuck Palahniuk
Don't do this. I love you. Don't shut me out.
Chuck Palahniuk
If you start in the pit of despair with these profane, awful things, even a glimmer of hope or awareness is going to occur that's much brighter coming from this dark, awful beginning.
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
You have a choice. Live or die. Every breath is a choice. Every minute is a choice. To be or not to be.
Chuck Palahniuk
At That Moment, it seemed the whole world cared what happened to him. All those people were hugging him and petting his hair. Everybody asked if he was okay. It seemed that moment would last forever. That you had to risk your life to get love. You had to get right to the edge of death to ever be saved.
Chuck Palahniuk
Not everything is about money. You didn't even say, hello. You are not your sad little wallet.
Chuck Palahniuk
How folks lay claim to a loved one is they give you a name of their own. They figure to label you as their property.
Chuck Palahniuk
Idiot people like Angel Delaporte who look for a supernatural reason for ordinary events, those people drive Misty nuts.
