More quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
When we don't know who to hate, we hate ourselves.
Chuck Palahniuk
You know that old phrase ‘Those who don’t remember the past are condemned to repeat it’? Well, I think those who remember the past are even worse off.
Chuck Palahniuk
A minute of perfection was worth the effort. A moment was the most you could ever expect from perfection.
Chuck Palahniuk
Most guys will fight to know you. Some guys will deny you're a real person, and some will just ignore you. The zealot. The atheist. The agnostic.
Chuck Palahniuk
Stop trying to control everything and just let go! LET GO!
Chuck Palahniuk
Give me rampant intellectualism as a coping mechanism.
Chuck Palahniuk
I'm always trying to reach a transcendent point, a romantic point, but reach it in a really unconventional way, a really profane way. To get to that romantic, touching, heartbreaking place, but through a lot of acts of profanity.
Chuck Palahniuk
I will never write a sequel to anything that I will ever write.
Chuck Palahniuk
When I see people talking on the internet about me or my work it's almost always more a description of themselves and so I never really think of myself as anything more than just who I always was.
Chuck Palahniuk
Books can create a depth of story, a background of information and ideas, that televison and movies can't. Sure, the television shows may shock, but only on a superficial level. They'd never risk market share to really explore the issues. They report, but don't analyze or suggest any new ways for living our lives.
Chuck Palahniuk
I write because it's a way of presenting something without having to be there.
Chuck Palahniuk
By the time you read this, you'll be older than you remember.
Chuck Palahniuk
Did perpetual happiness in the Garden of Eden maybe get so boring that eating the apple was justified?
Chuck Palahniuk
Imagine a plague you catch through your ears.
Chuck Palahniuk
You grow up to become living proof of your parents' limitations. Their less-than masterpiece.
Chuck Palahniuk
I went to sexaholics anonymous for six months. For research. I wanted to see the structure of the groups, how they were conducted, and what the atmosphere was like, and also to be able to describe the people as human beings, rather than as the dirty jokes that they are in our culture.
Chuck Palahniuk
We come from a generation of people who need their TV or stereo playing all the time. These people so scared of silence. These soundaholics, these quietophobics.
Chuck Palahniuk
Anything pretty,' Claire will tell you, 'it's only for sale because no one wants it.
Chuck Palahniuk
We can spend our lives letting the world tell us who we are. Sane or insane. Saints or sex addicts. Heroes or victims. Letting history tell us how good or bad we are. Letting our past decide our future. Or we can decide for ourselves. And maybe it's our job to invent something better.
Chuck Palahniuk
Yes, these are bruises from fighting and I'm okay with that.
Chuck Palahniuk
