There's an opposite to déjà vu. They call it jamais vu. It's when you meet the same people or visit places, again and again, but each time is the first. Everybody is always a stranger. Nothing is ever familiar.

You can say anything if enough people will listen.
Chuck Palahniuk
Everybody looks a little crazy if you're looking close enough and if you can't look that close, then you don't really love them.
Chuck Palahniuk
In the big factory of perfecting human souls, the Earth was kind of tumbler. The sale as the kind people use to polish rocks. All souls come here to rub the sharp edges off each other. This isn't suffering. It's erosion.
Chuck Palahniuk
Destruction is always an attractive idea. My brother and I used to spend weeks making models of cities so that we could destroy them in 15 minutes. There's a fantastic joy in destroying something that you've meticulously built. Then you're free to build a new thing. Destruction and creation they're inseparable.
Chuck Palahniuk
There's worse that people can steal from you than money.

Chuck Palahniuk
The whole world is a disaster waiting to happen.
Chuck Palahniuk
No matter how much I try and hide this, bit by bit, I start to fall apart.
Chuck Palahniuk
We've spent so much time judging what other people created that we've created very, very little of our own.
Chuck Palahniuk
Maybe self-improvement isn't the answer, maybe self-destruction is the answer.
Chuck Palahniuk
Put a gun to my head and paint the wall with my brains.
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.
Chuck Palahniuk
It's okay to cry as long as you're faking it.
Chuck Palahniuk
I want my whole life lined with a topical anesthetic.
Chuck Palahniuk
On a night without moon or stars you can't see a thing, but you can imagine anything.
Chuck Palahniuk
It's pathetic how we can't live with the things we can't understand. How we need everything labeled and explained and deconstructed.
Chuck Palahniuk
I have to have everything in my life completely fixed and perfect and cleaned up and I have to be complete with everyone in my life and I have seven days in which to do that. So I might make it to day three or four, but I've never made it all the way to day seven.
Chuck Palahniuk
I don't do much more than organise other people's ideas and insights and thoughts, and sort of harvest them, and inventory them and present them.
Chuck Palahniuk
Everyone is equal and everyone is forced to participate you can't just be a spectator.
Chuck Palahniuk
