I'm working harder than I have ever worked in my entire life, but what the hell, my life is my job now, and my job is my life and that's the way it should be.
Chuck Palahniuk
Without access to true chaos, we'll never have true peace. Unless everything can get worse, it won't get any better.
Chuck Palahniuk

Chuck Palahniuk
I'm really glad that I spent my twenties messing around and having disaster after disaster - with people who were doing likewise - because it's really my greatest treasure now.
Chuck Palahniuk
I have to have everything in my life completely fixed and perfect and cleaned up and I have to be complete with everyone in my life and I have seven days in which to do that. So I might make it to day three or four, but I've never made it all the way to day seven.
Chuck Palahniuk
Love and life belongs to great risk.
