More quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
I have a secret goal with my editor - he has asthma and uses his inhaler, and after I send him a new manuscript, I'll have his assistant phone me and tell me how many times he had to get his inhaler out while reading a draft. It's my secret laugh meter.

Chuck Palahniuk
I was tired and crazy and rushed, and every time I boarded a plane, I wanted the plane to crash. I envied people dying of cancer. I hated my life. I was tired and bored with my job and my furniture, and I couldn’t see any way to change things. Only end them.
Chuck Palahniuk
To see how boring you really are, write a book about soap and cults, and the profits you make will be your only means of subsistence.
Chuck Palahniuk
You realize you have no control over how you're perceived.
Chuck Palahniuk
Everybody's still miserable in the same way they've always been miserable, and more and more of my friends - especially my male friends - find themselves taking anti-anxiety, psychotropic drugs. It seems like everybody I know is wondering if they're really who they are, or once the prescription runs out, will they become someone different?
Chuck Palahniuk
You spend your entire life becoming God and then you die.
Chuck Palahniuk
The amazing miracle of death, when one second you're walking and talking, and the next second you're an object.
Chuck Palahniuk
You have no idea what it is like to constantly disappoint people. You see it the moment you meet them. You see in their eyes that they expected something so entirely different, and here they are meeting you.
