More quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
History is filled with brilliant people who wanted to fix things and just made them worse.
Chuck Palahniuk
Get through the moment. Avoid confrontation. Run away. That's pretty much how we get through our own lives, watching television. Smoking crap. Self-medicating. Redirecting our own attention. Jacking off. Denial.
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
I'm not sure what we're running from. Nobody. Or the future. Fate. Growing up. Getting old. Picking up the pieces. As if running we won't have to get on with our lives.
Chuck Palahniuk
There are only patterns. Patterns on top of patterns, patterns that affect other patterns, patterns hidden by patterns, patterns within patterns.
Chuck Palahniuk
The trick to forgetting the big picture is to look at everything close-up.
Chuck Palahniuk
Kids, she says. When they’re little, they believe everything you tell them about the world. As a mother, you’re the world almanac and the encyclopedia and the dictionary and the Bible, all rolled up together. But after they hit some magic age, it’s just the opposite. After that, you’re either a liar or a fool or a villain.
Chuck Palahniuk
Just let yourself be broken and humiliated. Just your whole life, keep telling people, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Chuck Palahniuk
The money is in television. Books are not the dominant medium of our time, so fewer people will create them. In a sad way, books have become a form of comfort food we expect to lull us to sleep.
Chuck Palahniuk
We can spend our lives letting the world tell us who we are…Or we can decide for ourselves.
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
The lower you fall, the higher you'll fly.
Chuck Palahniuk
Really, just looking around, you feel a twinge of pity for the poor souls who succeeded in getting past the Pearly Gates. One can't help but picture the lackluster VIP lounge in Heaven, a kind of nonalcoholic ice-cream social starring Harriet Beecher Stowe and Mahatma Gandhi. Hardly anyone's idea of a with-it social register.
Chuck Palahniuk
Suicide is very contagious.
Chuck Palahniuk
We went sailing one time, and he wore a Speedo, and any smart woman should know that means bisexual at least.
Chuck Palahniuk
Nothing was solved when the fight was over, but nothing mattered.
Chuck Palahniuk
And if you can find any way out of our culture, then that's a trap too. Just wanting to get out of the trap reinforces the trap.
Chuck Palahniuk
I don't want to die without a few scars.
Chuck Palahniuk
Men are destroyed for being rebellious, and women destroy themselves by failing to be rebellious. Unless you can make that next jump to either getting along with people or resisting people, you are ultimately destroying yourself.
Chuck Palahniuk
I am nothing, and not even that.
Chuck Palahniuk
