Chuck Palahniuk
Did you ever think about life as a metaphor for television?
Chuck Palahniuk
My life has been about living like a monk and looking like a priest so that people will come up to me and tell me their most appalling stories. They have to make their confession to somebody, and it might as well be me.
Chuck Palahniuk
A short story is something that you can hold in your mind. You can really analyze how the entire thing works, like a machine
Chuck Palahniuk
The girls you meet are never very far from their worst-case scenario.
