Chuck Palahniuk
What I'm always trying to do with every book is to recreate the effect of the stories we heard as children in front of campfires and fireplaces - the ghost stories that engaged us.
Chuck Palahniuk
Anybody's true nature is bullshit. There is no human soul. Emotion is bullshit. Love is bullshit.
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
The only way to find true happiness is to risk being completely cut open.
Chuck Palahniuk
