Chuck Palahniuk
At this rate, we'll never get to the future.
Chuck Palahniuk
Life's greatest comfort is being able to look over your shoulder and see people worse off, waiting in line behind you.
Chuck Palahniuk
We'll never be as young as we are tonight.
Chuck Palahniuk
Everyone is equal and everyone is forced to participate you can't just be a spectator.
Chuck Palahniuk
Everyone's in their own personal coma.
Chuck Palahniuk
The future you have, tomorrow, won't be the same future you had, yesterday.
Chuck Palahniuk
There are a lot of things we don't want to know about the people we love.
Chuck Palahniuk
I know so many writers who are a hundred times better than me and have longer, greater ideas than mine, but they gave up they stopped. The biggest talent you can have is determination.
