Get through the moment. Avoid confrontation. Run away. That's pretty much how we get through our own lives, watching television. Smoking crap. Self-medicating. Redirecting our own attention. Jacking off. Denial.

More quotes by Chuck Palahniuk

Chuck Palahniuk
Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it.
Chuck Palahniuk
Don't write about your most emotionally charged moment as a learning thing.
Chuck Palahniuk
You always kill the one you love.
Chuck Palahniuk
As we grow older I always think, why didn't I do more when I was young, why didn't I risk more?
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
Stop trying to control everything and just let go! LET GO!
Chuck Palahniuk
With insomnia, you're never really awake but you're never really asleep.
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
Demon or angel or evil spirit, I just need something to show itself. Ghoulie or ghosty or long-legged beastie, I just want my hand held.
Chuck Palahniuk
Control the things you can control. As for the rest - God bless it all.
Chuck Palahniuk
