Chuck Palahniuk
Even if I overcompensate, nobody will ever want me. Not Seth. Not my folks. You can’t kiss someone who has no lips. Oh, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me. I’ll be anybody you want me to be
Chuck Palahniuk
We just had a near-life experience!

I want you to invent it. I want you to have that skill. To create your own reality. Your own set of laws. I want to try and teach you that.
Chuck Palahniuk
