More Quotes from Chuck Palahniuk:

You are not special. Your are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else.
Chuck Palahniuk
The sound shivers through the walls, through the table, through the window frame, and into my finger. These distraction-oholics. These focus-ophobics. Old George Orwell got it backward. Big Brother isn't watching. He's singing and dancing. He's pulling rabbits out of a hat. Big Brother's holding your attention every moment you're awake. He's making sure you're always distracted. He's making sure you're fully absorbed... and this being fed, it's worse than being watched. With the world always filling you, no one has to worry about what's in your mind. With everyone's imagination atrophied, no one will ever be a threat to the world.
Chuck Palahniuk
If your body is a temple, you can pile up too much deferred maintenance. If your body is a temple, mine was a real fixer-upper.
Chuck Palahniuk
It's not love or anything, but I think I like you, too.
Chuck Palahniuk
You realize that our mistrust of the future makes it hard to give up the past.
