We have pain and hate and love and joy and war in the world because we want them.
Chuck Palahniuk
Does it hurt very much to die? Well, sweetheart, yes, but it hurts a lot more to keep living.
Chuck Palahniuk
These flowers will be rotten in a couple hours. Birds will crap on them. The smoke here will make them stink, and tomorrow a bulldozer will probably run over them, but for right now they are so beautiful.
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
So this is why I write. Because most times, your life isn’t funny the first time through. Most times, you can hardly stand it. That’s why I write, because life never works except in retrospect. And writing makes you look back. Because since you can’t control life, at least you can control your version.
Chuck Palahniuk
I hate how I don't feel real enough unless people are watching.
Chuck Palahniuk
I try to forget about the expectation that's out there and the audience listening for the next thing so that I'm not trying to please them. I've spent a huge amount of time not communicating with those folks and denying that they exist.
Chuck Palahniuk
Life is short, death is forever
Chuck Palahniuk
There are worse things you can do to people you love than kill them.
Chuck Palahniuk
Fathers. Mothers. With all their caring and attention. They will fuck you up, every time.
Chuck Palahniuk
Without animals, there would be no humanity. In a world of just people, people will mean nothing . . .
Chuck Palahniuk
Anything pretty,' Claire will tell you, 'it's only for sale because no one wants it.
Chuck Palahniuk
Taste is such a changing thing. Every age our tastes change. But the things that really last aren't necessarily the best or the worst or the most loved things, but they're the things that make the biggest impression.
Chuck Palahniuk
The only way to find true happiness is to risk being completely cut open.
Chuck Palahniuk
It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything.
Chuck Palahniuk
Just for the record, she still loves you. She wouldn't bother to torture you if she didn't.
Chuck Palahniuk
I let go. Lost in oblivion. Dark and silent and complete. I found freedom. Losing all hope was freedom.
Chuck Palahniuk
What would Tyler Durden do?
Chuck Palahniuk
Some writers research in order to write. I write in order to research topics that interest me. Especially if I can meet with other people, in forums from illness support groups to phone-sex hotlines, and learn what other people know best.
Chuck Palahniuk
Getting fired, Tyler says, is the best thing that could happen to any of us. That way, we’d quit treading water and do something with our lives.
