Image
More and more people are defining themselves not by what they are about, but by what they are against, what they are overcoming, the thing that is wrong with them.
Chuck Palahniuk
Image
If you could be either God’s worst enemy or nothing, which would you choose?

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
Image
The future you have, tomorrow, won't be the same future you had, yesterday.
Chuck Palahniuk

People who don't want to get on with their lives, and don't want to accept responsibility for the direction of their lives want to hang out with other people who don't want to accept responsibility or move on, and so you find that your entire culture around you are people who are just like you, because that's what's comforting.
Chuck Palahniuk
Image
The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because it's only intangibles, ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die.

You can say anything if enough people will listen.
