Chuck Palahniuk
Any time some well-meaning person forces you to demonstrate you have no talent and rubs your nose in the fact you're a failure at the only dream you ever had, take another drink.
Chuck Palahniuk
That's what I love about fire, how it would kill me as quick as anybody else. How it can't know I'm its mother. It's so beautiful and powerful and beyond feeling anything for anybody, that's what I love about fire.
Chuck Palahniuk

Chuck Palahniuk
The only thing that separates us from the animals... is we have pornography.
Chuck Palahniuk
On game shows, some people will take the trip to France, but most people will take the washer and dryer pair.
Chuck Palahniuk

Chuck Palahniuk
