Scratch any fortune and you'll find blood only a generation or two back...child labor in mines or mills...Slavery. Drugs. Stock swindles. Wasting nature with clear-cuts, pollution, harvesting to extinction. Monopolies. Disease. War. Every fortune comes out of something unpleasant.

The first time we meet another person an insidious little voice in our heads says, I might wear eyeglasses or be chunky around the hips or a girl, but at least I'm not Gay or Black or a Jew. Meaning: I may be me- but at least I have the good sense not to be YOU.
Chuck Palahniuk
This isn’t really death, Tyler says, We’ll be legend. We won’t grow old. I tongue the barrel into my cheek and say, Tyler, you’re thinking of vampires.
Chuck Palahniuk
How you're still always trapped. How your head is the cave, your eyes the cave mouth. How you live inside your head and only see what you want. How you only watch the shadows and make up your own meaning.
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 didn't use anybody's story. I used the context and the structure of the situation. People were so, so desperate to tell their story and begin to digest their experience - like turning it into a story - that after the fist few weeks I could go with a pad and pencil and take notes. People didn't seem at all bothered by that.
Chuck Palahniuk
I don't do much more than organise other people's ideas and insights and thoughts, and sort of harvest them, and inventory them and present them.
