Chuck Palahniuk
This is how it is with insomnia. Everything is so far away, a copy of a copy of a copy. The insomnia distance of everything, you can't touch anything and nothing can touch you.
Chuck Palahniuk
Every character sees the world through a framework of education and experience that they're proud experts about. To write a character, find out what they know best, and THEN you'll know how they'll describe a hot day. Or a pretty girl.
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
The photographer in my head says: Give me peace. Flash. Give me release. Flash.

Chuck Palahniuk
Her mom and dad are both doctors and want her to follow her dream, not turn out the way they have, no matter how much it costs them.
Chuck Palahniuk
New carpet will exude poisonous formaldehyde for up to two years after it'd been laid. I know the feeling.
Chuck Palahniuk
This would be...a book that would be a trapdoor down into some place dark. A place only you could go, alone, when you opened the cover. Because only books have that power.
Chuck Palahniuk
Imagine books and music and movies being filtered and homogenized. Certified. Approved for consumption. People will be happy to give up most of their culture for the assurance that the tiny bit that comes through is safe and clean. White noise.
Chuck Palahniuk
Imagine a plague you catch through your ears.
Chuck Palahniuk
Rant Casey used to say, No matter what happens, it's always now... Talk about cryptic. I think what Rant meant was, we live in the present moment of reality, and no matter what's come before, no matter how much we loved a person or a dog, when it attacks us we'll react to that moment of danger.
Chuck Palahniuk
Maybe self-improvement isn't the answer, maybe self-destruction is the answer.
Chuck Palahniuk
Only through destroying myself can I discover the greater power of my spirit.
Chuck Palahniuk
My books are always about someone obtaining a power to replace the previous sort of power that they held.
