Philosophy Quote by Chuck Palahniuk — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“I am the child of a lunatic. Not a child of God.”

“If Marilyn Monroe was alive right now, what would she be doing?'”

“Maybe the truth is I really want to like you instead.”

“Nothing drives people crazier than seeing someone have a good fucking life.”

“It's only in drugs or death we'll see anything new, and death is just too controlling.”

“There's still a thousand places I haven't gone to die.”

“Adversity discourages losers; adversity inspires winners.”

“In football everything is complicated by the presence of the opposite team.”

“A few years ago it dawned on me that everybody past a certain age ... pretty much constantly dreams of being able to escape from their lives. They don't want to be who they are any more. They want out. This list includes Thurston Howell the Third, Ann-Margret, the cat members of Rent, Václav Havel, space shuttle astronauts and Snuffleupagus. It's universal.”

“A sign of a lover of wisdom is his delight in not running his mouth about things he doesn't know.”

“Hoarded things might easily become a menace; a mere fire-and-theft risk; a breeding-ground for destructive insects; a source of worry. Men would have plenty of anxieties, but there was no sense in accumulating worries over THINGS! That kind of worry destroyed your character. Even an unused coat, hanging in your closet—it wasn't merely a useless thing that did nobody any good; it was an active agent of destruction to your life. And your LIFE must be saved, at all costs. What would it advantage a man—Jesus had demanded—if he were to gain the whole world, and lose his own life?”
