More quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
The worst part of writing fiction is the fear of wasting your life behind a keyboard. The idea that, dying, you'll realize you only lived on paper. Your only adventures were make-believe, and while the world fought and kissed, you sat in some dark room masturbating and making money.
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
There's still a thousand places I haven't gone to die.
Chuck Palahniuk
I see the strongest and the smartest men who have ever lived... and these men are pumping gas and waiting tables.
Chuck Palahniuk
I write because it's a way of presenting something without having to be there.
Chuck Palahniuk
Without animals, there would be no humanity. In a world of just people, people will mean nothing . . .
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
Leonardo's Mona Lisa is just a thousand thousand smears of paint. Michelangelo's David is just a million hits with a hammer. We're all of us a million bits put together the right way.
Chuck Palahniuk
We've taken the world apart but we have no idea what to do with the pieces.
Chuck Palahniuk
The world can be a lot better than we settle for. All you have to do is ask.
Chuck Palahniuk
You ever wonder if Adam and Eve were just the puppies God dumped because they wouldn't house-train?
Chuck Palahniuk
No matter how much I try and hide this, bit by bit, I start to fall apart.
Chuck Palahniuk
We all have some proper noun to blame.
Chuck Palahniuk
My theory is that church used to be that place. Instead of being a place where you went to look good, it was a place where you could risk going every week to look your worst.
