I think we're in an age starved for genuine experiences, instead of cathartic phony experiences through the media, structured, engineered experiences. And those are the fast food, the masturbation of experience. They don't really exhaust any aspect of ourselves they don't make us any stronger.

Chuck Palahniuk
Nothing was solved when the fight was over, but nothing mattered.
Chuck Palahniuk

Chuck Palahniuk
I still love him so much I'll hide any amount of conjugated estrogen in his food. So much I'll do anything to destroy him.

Chuck Palahniuk
Las Vegas looks the way you'd imagine heaven must look at night.
