More quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
The lucky ones are just born dead.
Chuck Palahniuk
Carl Jung called this his shadow work. He said we never see others. Instead we see only aspects of ourselves that fall over them. Shadows. Projections. Our associations.
Chuck Palahniuk
It’s weird to think the place where we’re standing will only be a point in the sky.
Chuck Palahniuk
Maybe it's our sins that give God consolation when he finally has to give us cancer.
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
How I feel is cheap and used, dirty and humiliated. Dirty and tricked and thrown away.
Chuck Palahniuk
The rules that I adhere to are the rules of minimalism. And those rules kind of force writing to be more filmic... to have the immediacy and accessibility of film so that the reader really has to fill in a lot of the details.
Chuck Palahniuk
That if you could acquire enough, accomplish enough, you’d never want to own or do another thing. That if you could eat or sleep enough, you’d never need more. That if enough people loved you, you’d stop needing love.
Chuck Palahniuk
The difference between how you look and how you see yourself is enough to kill most people. And maybe the reason vampires don’t die is because they can never see themselves in photographs or mirrors.
Chuck Palahniuk
We just had a near-life experience!
Chuck Palahniuk
Folks build a reputation by attacking you while you’re alive - or praising you after you ain’t.
Chuck Palahniuk
The most boring thing in the entire world is nudity. The second most boring thing is honesty.
Chuck Palahniuk
I suppose it’s comfort, perhaps a sense of self-control, doing worse things to yourself than the world will ever dare inflict.
Chuck Palahniuk
To merely observe your culture without contributing to it seems very close to existing as a ghost.
Chuck Palahniuk
We have pain and hate and love and joy and war in the world because we want them.
Chuck Palahniuk
Or maybe...just maybe this whole process is our training wheels towards something bigger. If we can reflect and know our lives, we might stay awake and shape our futures.
Chuck Palahniuk
We all have some proper noun to blame.
Chuck Palahniuk
My books are always about someone obtaining a power to replace the previous sort of power that they held.
Chuck Palahniuk
Someday you will die, and until you know that, you're useless to me.
Chuck Palahniuk
I see so many tattoos of my stuff on people - tattoos of my book covers, tattoos of quotes . . . it's kind of daunting sometimes.
