| a4c00a7 | I am trash," Tyler said. "I am trash and shit and crazy to you and this whole fucking world," Tyler said to the union president. "You don't care where I live or how I feel, or what I eat or how I feed my kids or how I pay the doctor if I get sick, and yes I am stupid and bored and weak, but I am still your responsibility." | Chuck Palahniuk | ||

| f44ed39 | When you get famous, dinner isn't food anymore; it's twenty ounces of protein, ten ounces of carbohydrates, salt-free, fat-free, sugar-free fuel. This is a meal every two hours, six times a day. Eating isn't about eating anymore. It's about protein assimilation. It's about cellular rejuvenation cream. Washing is about exfoliation. What used to be breathing is respiration. I'd be the first to congratulate anybody if they could do a bette.. | Chuck Palahniuk | ||
| f648a4e | The truth is you can be orphaned again and again and again. The truth is you will be. | Chuck Palahniuk | ||
| d457d2f | Money gives you permission to just walk away from everything that isn't pretty and perfect. You can't put up with anything less than lovely. You spend your life running, avoiding, escaping. | money poor-in-spirit rich | Chuck Palahniuk | |
| ce42625 | The previous Madison Spencer would bother to hold their frightened hand, to calm and comfort them. Who I am now, however, I tell them to cry me a stinking shit river and fall down dead, already. | Chuck Palahniuk | ||

| da9fa08 | We live and we die and anything else is just delusion. it's just passive chick bullshit about feelings and sensitivity. Just made-up subjective emotional crap. There is no soul.

| d6c0f9a | Penny wanted this kind of attention from the world. She wanted people everywhere to know her name and to love her. There, she'd admitted it aloud. But she couldn't do anything that would justify such massive public acclaim. She just needed a mentor, a teacher, someone to discover her. | love people | Chuck Palahniuk | |

| fb237fe | Me encantaria creer en un mundo invisible. Eso destruiria todo el sufrimiento y la presion del mundo fisico. Pero tambien negaria el valor del dinero que tengo en el banco, de mi casa que no esta nada mal y de todo mi esfuerzo. Todos nuestros problemas y todo lo bueno que nos pasa podrian desdenarse simplemente porque no son mas reales que las escenas de un libro o una pelicula. Un mundo eterno e invisible convertiria el nuestro en una ilus.. | essay palahniuk stranger-than-fiction | Chuck Palahniuk | |

| 6af8d69 | If you believe Leondard, this is how Hell breaks people down -- by permitting them to act out to greater and greater extremes, becoming vicious caricatures of themselves, earning fewer and fewer rewards, until they finally realize their folly. Perhaps, I muse over the telephone, that is the one effective lesson which one learns in Hell. | Chuck Palahniuk | ||
| feb70e2 | the disinhibition caused by said brain damage, can also spur the infected individual to seek the pleasure of compulsive, casual sexual activity | rabbia rabbis | Chuck Palahniuk | |
| 3bf7ead | The mechanic says, "If you're male and you're Christian and living in America, your father is your model for God. And if you never know your father, if your father bails out or dies or is never at home, what do you believe about God?" | Chuck Palahniuk | ||
| 4d11440 | You wake up at SeaTac. I study the people on the laminated airline seat card. A woman floats in the ocean, her brown hair spread out behind her, her seat cushion clutched to her chest. The eyes are wide open, but the woman doesn't smile or frown. In another picture, people calm as Hindu cows reach up from their seats toward oxygen masks sprung out of the ceiling. This must be an emergency. Oh. | Chuck Palahniuk | ||
| 1983b3e | No, it's not fair, but what makes earth feel like Hell is our expectation that it should feel like Heaven. Earth is earth. Dead is dead. You'll find out for yourself soon enough. | Chuck Palahniuk | ||
| 19d1582 | After you've been to fight club, watching football on television is watching pornography when you could be having great sex. | Chuck Palahniuk | ||
| 5fa03bb | People in the outside world said something stupid with their every breath, and when they didn't talk their radios filled the gap with the copied voices of people singing the same songs over and over. | Chuck Palahniuk | ||
| d474232 | Every unkind remark or crude gesture by others is a blessing, an opportunity to exercise our own capacity to forgive. | Chuck Palahniuk | ||
| 6d575fe | We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. | Chuck Palahniuk | ||

| 6707148 | I just don't want to die without a few scars, I say. It's nothing anymore to have a beautiful stock body. You see those cars that are completely stock cherry, right out of a dealer's showroom in 1955, I always think, what a waste. | Chuck Palahniuk | ||
| 44bf7d2 | nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. | Chuck Palahniuk | ||
| ef80433 | Still, the better she could draw, the worse her life got--until nothing in her real world was good enough. It got until she didn't belong anywhere.

| 3af5b2a | A woman calls from Seaview to say her linen closet is missing. Last September, her house had six bedrooms, two linen closets. She's sure of it. Now she's only got one. She comes to open her beach house for the summer. She drives out from the city with the kids and the nanny and the dog, and here they are with all heir luggage, and their towels are gone. Disappeared. Poof. Bermuda triangulated. | disappearance humorous | Chuck Palahniuk | |
| d6fa0b1 | What I'm talking about is free will. Do we have it, or does God dictate and script everything we do and say and want? Do we have free will, or do the mass media and our culture control us, our desires and actions, from the moment we're born? | Chuck Palahniuk | ||

| 968cf3c | No," Marla says. No, she wants it all. The cancers, the parasites. Marla's eyes narrow. She never dreamed she could feel so marvelous. She actually felt alive. Her skin was clearing up. All her life, she never saw a dead person. There was no real sense of life because she had nothing to contrast it with. Oh, but now there was dying and death and loss and grief. Weeping and shuddering, terror and remorse. Now that she knows where we're all g.. | Chuck Palahniuk | ||

| 4afadc8 | What never failed to boggle Daisy was how Judy Garland had only just arrived in this glorious colorful place and she immediately wanted to run back to some boring pig farm. The fact that everyone else loved the film...what did that say about people? It says that most people can tolerate being over the rainbow for only about thirty seconds. | Chuck Palahniuk | ||
| 5810f3e | It's the sweetest of moments when the fire takes control, and you're no longer responsible for anything. | Chuck Palahniuk | ||
