Chuck Palahniuk Quotes

Screenwriters get paid a hell of a lot more money but their level of frustration seems to be so high that I don’t want that Picture Quote #1

When I see people talking on the internet about me or my work it’s almost always more a description of themselves and so I never really think of myself as anything more than just who I always was Picture Quote #1

Somehow people have been sold on the idea that only professionals can entertain them, that only professionals can sing or tell jokes. And people are cut out of this creativity loop, and creativity is being limited to these large, centralized voices Picture Quote #1

You have no idea what it is like to constantly disappoint people. You see it the moment you meet them. You see in their eyes that they expected something so entirely different, and here they are meeting you Picture Quote #1

Sometimes the very best way to deal with unpleasant things is to depict them in ways that allow people to laugh at them and destroy the power of unsayable things, rather than refusing to acknowledge them Picture Quote #1

Men are destroyed for being rebellious, and women destroy themselves by failing to be rebellious. Unless you can make that next jump to either getting along with people or resisting people, you are ultimately destroying yourself Picture Quote #1

People are all over the world telling their one dramatic story and how their life has turned into getting over this one event. Now their lives are more about the past than their future Picture Quote #1

The best way is not to fight it, just go. Don’t be trying all the time to fix things. What you run from only stays with you longer. When you fight something, you only make it stronger Picture Quote #1

The most boring thing in the entire world is nudity. The second most boring thing is honesty Picture Quote #1

When you don’t share your problems, you resent hearing the problems of other people Picture Quote #1

The one you love and the one who loves you are never, ever the same person Picture Quote #1

There are the most fantastic, beautiful things and people out there. It’s up to you to find them Picture Quote #1

From famous artists to building contractors, we all want to leave our signature. Our lasting effect. Your life after death. We all want to explain ourselves. Nobody wants to be forgotten Picture Quote #1

What you write should entertain you and serve you first. Don’t worry about maintaining anything beyond your own attention. Focus on exorcising your demons in the work. If you can do that, then you’ll succeed in the world Picture Quote #1

A writer’s job is to cultivate what can go wrong. You’re always looking for that dramatic arc of where things can fail Picture Quote #1

I write because it’s a way of presenting something without having to be there Picture Quote #1

Since we do operate in a binary world, if there’s something that cannot be this or that, it drives us crazy Picture Quote #1

I can manage my own pain. I can drink. I can go to the doctor and get a prescription. I can exercise. I can write a story about it. I’ve done it a million times! But I don’t want to see the people I love tortured and suffering Picture Quote #1

A minute of perfection was worth the effort. A moment was the most you could ever expect from perfection Picture Quote #1

I don’t care what they do with my book so long as the flippin check clears Picture Quote #1
