More quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
We can spend our lives letting the world tell us who we are. Sane or insane. Saints or sex addicts. Heroes or victims. Letting history tell us how good or bad we are. Letting our past decide our future. Or we can decide for ourselves. And maybe it's our job to invent something better.
Chuck Palahniuk
I'm really glad that I spent my twenties messing around and having disaster after disaster - with people who were doing likewise - because it's really my greatest treasure now.
Chuck Palahniuk
I am not loved. I am not a beautiful soul. I am not a good-natured, giving person. I am not anybody's savior.
Chuck Palahniuk

I was tired and crazy and rushed, and every time I boarded a plane, I wanted the plane to crash. I envied people dying of cancer. I hated my life. I was tired and bored with my job and my furniture, and I couldn’t see any way to change things. Only end them.
Chuck Palahniuk
I came to Party Crashing because accidents happen. People you love will die. Nothing you treasure will last forever. And I need to accept and embrace that fact.
Chuck Palahniuk
What we call chaos is just patterns we haven’t recognized. What we call random is just patterns we can't decipher.
Chuck Palahniuk
When a regular person gets sick, they take an aspirin. When a writer gets sick, they take notes.
Chuck Palahniuk
Love and life belongs to great risk.
Chuck Palahniuk
If I can't be beautiful, I want to be invisible.
Chuck Palahniuk
You hear the best stories from ordinary people. That sense of immediacy is more real to me than a lot of writerly, literary-type crafted stories. I want that immediacy when I read a novel.
Chuck Palahniuk
If your body is a temple, you can pile up too much deferred maintenance. If your body is a temple, mine was a real fixer-upper.
Chuck Palahniuk
We've been speaking English as a second language so long that we've forgotten it as our first.
Chuck Palahniuk
Honest is how I want to look. The truth doesn't glitter and shine.
Chuck Palahniuk
If you died right now, how would you feel about your life?
Chuck Palahniuk
Let me be the ring leader in your guilt gang-bang.
Chuck Palahniuk
Because after you've crossed some lines, you just keep crossing them. And there's no escaping from constant escape. Distracting ourselves. Avoiding confrontation. Getting past the moment. Jacking off. Television. Denial.
