Chuck Palahniuk
Maybe the truth is I really want to like you instead.
Chuck Palahniuk
Folks build a reputation by attacking you while you’re alive - or praising you after you ain’t.

Chuck Palahniuk
Men are destroyed for being rebellious, and women destroy themselves by failing to be rebellious. Unless you can make that next jump to either getting along with people or resisting people, you are ultimately destroying yourself.
Chuck Palahniuk
Drugs or overeating or alcohol or sex, it was all just another way to find peace. To escape what we know. Our education. Our bite of the apple.
Chuck Palahniuk
Optimism is the first symptom that any disease is fatal.
Chuck Palahniuk
So here I am. This is as good as it gets. Take it or leave it.
Chuck Palahniuk
This isn't about love as in caring. This is about property as in ownership.
Chuck Palahniuk
The body ages. grows. passes through near-lunatic phases of reproductive frenzy, but you are born and die essentially the same person. That... that is proof of your deathless soul.
Chuck Palahniuk
I have a lot of money.
Chuck Palahniuk
Writing is like sex, if it's difficult you're not doing it right.
