Chuck Palahniuk
“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.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Invisible Monsters

Chuck Palahniuk
“People don't want their lives fixed. Nobody wants their problems solved. Their dramas. their distractions. Their stories resolved. Their messes cleaned up. Because what would they have left? Just the big scary unknown.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Survivor

Chuck Palahniuk
“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.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Invisible Monsters

Chuck Palahniuk
“Don't do what you want. Do what you don't want. Do what you're trained not to want. Do the things that scare you the most.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Invisible Monsters

Chuck Palahniuk
“Fuck me. I'm so tired of being me. Me beautiful. Me ugly. Blonde. Brunette. A million fucking fashion makeovers that only leave me trapped being me.
Who I was before the accident is just a story now. Everything before now, before now, before now, is just a story I carry around. I guess that would apply to anybody in the world. What I need is a new story about who I am.
What I need to do is fuck up so bad I can't save myself.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Invisible Monsters
