Why is it you feel like a dope if you laugh alone, but that's usually how you end up crying?
Chuck Palahniuk
My writing process isn't a very organized thing. The actual writing part is a tiny part of my life. I often write in public. I bring my laptop or write freehand in notebooks. Then, I'll read through them while I exercise or walk the dog. The very last thing I do is the sitting alone at the computer part.

Chuck Palahniuk
I will never write a sequel to anything that I will ever write.
Chuck Palahniuk
This deluded little rube who really thought the future would be any better. If you just worked hard enough. If you just learned enough. Ran fast enough. Everything would turn out right, and your life would amount to something.
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
My point is, that if I'm honest, my life is all about me.
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.
Chuck Palahniuk
Or maybe...just maybe this whole process is our training wheels towards something bigger. If we can reflect and know our lives, we might stay awake and shape our futures.
Chuck Palahniuk
The trick to forgetting the big picture is to look at everything close-up.
Chuck Palahniuk
People fall so in love with their pain, they can’t leave it behind. The same as the stories they tell. We trap ourselves.
Chuck Palahniuk
