More quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
I would pay snakes to bite her.
Chuck Palahniuk
I often need physical gesture to balance dialogue. If I write in public, every time I need to know what a character is doing with his hand or foot, I can look up and study people and find compelling gestures that I can harvest. Writing in public gives you that access to a junkyard of details all around you.
Chuck Palahniuk
How you're still always trapped. How your head is the cave, your eyes the cave mouth. How you live inside your head and only see what you want. How you only watch the shadows and make up your own meaning.
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
So here I am. This is as good as it gets. Take it or leave it.
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
The lucky ones are just born dead.
Chuck Palahniuk
It's funny how the beauty of art has so much more to do with the frame than the artwork itself.
Chuck Palahniuk
Hey, even the Mona Lisa is falling apart.
Chuck Palahniuk
When nobody will look at you, you can stare a hole in them. Picking out all the little details you'd never stare long enough to get if they'd even just return your gaze, this, this is your revenge.
Chuck Palahniuk
Maybe the truth is I really want to like you instead.
Chuck Palahniuk
I am the all-singing, all-dancing crap of this world.... I am the toxic waste by-product of God's creation.
Chuck Palahniuk
When you're thinking about the rest of your life, you're never really thinking more than a couple years down the road.
Chuck Palahniuk
Our real discoveries come from chaos, from going to the place that looks wrong and stupid and foolish.
Chuck Palahniuk
I think in a way, you're doomed, once you can envision something. You're sort of doomed to make it happen. I've found that the moment I can envision leaving a relationship, that's usually the moment that the relationship starts to fall apart.
Chuck Palahniuk
This isn't about love as in caring. This is about property as in ownership.
Chuck Palahniuk
When I see people talking on the internet about me or my work it's almost always more a description of themselves and so I never really think of myself as anything more than just who I always was.
Chuck Palahniuk
Men are destroyed for being rebellious, and women destroy themselves by failing to be rebellious. Unless you can make that next jump to either getting along with people or resisting people, you are ultimately destroying yourself.
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
If emotion can create a physical action, then duplicating the physical action can re-create the emotion.
Chuck Palahniuk
