Chuck Palahniuk
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it, doesn't it just lie there and rot?
Chuck Palahniuk

Chuck Palahniuk
All you can do is hope for a pattern to emerge, and sometimes it never does. Still, with a plan, you only get the best you can imagine. I'd always hoped for something better than that.
Chuck Palahniuk
Only in death will we have our own names since only in death are we no longer part of the effort. In death we become heroes.

Chuck Palahniuk
I try to tell a story the way someone would tell you a story in a bar, with the same kind of timing and pacing.
Chuck Palahniuk

Chuck Palahniuk
I have an experience with as many of my readers as possible that's really genuine. I love it when they write to me, and I'm able to send them things. I love meeting them in person, and even if it's only for a moment I love having that physical, touching interaction.
Chuck Palahniuk
You had to risk your life to get love. You had to get right to the edge of death to ever be saved.
Chuck Palahniuk
You couldn't have small, dying children in a movie without really bringing everyone down, but you can in comics.
Chuck Palahniuk
Las Vegas looks the way you'd imagine heaven must look at night.
Chuck Palahniuk
Dude, the place is filling up, I say. It feels like we're living in the bottom half of an hourglass. Like somehow we're running out of time.
Chuck Palahniuk
If you love something set it free, but don't be surprised if it comes back with herpes.
Chuck Palahniuk
It's pathetic how we can't live with the things we can't understand. How we need everything labeled and explained and deconstructed.
Chuck Palahniuk
Give me rampant intellectualism as a coping mechanism.
Chuck Palahniuk
Stanislavski was right, you can find fresh pain every time you discover what you pretty much already know.
