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

“We just had a near-life experience!”

“Nobody wants to worship you if you have the same problems, the same bad breath and messy hair and hangnails, as a regular person. You have to be everything regular people aren’t. Where they fail, you have to go all the way. Be what people are too afraid to be. Become whom they admire. People shopping for a messiah want quality. Nobody is going to follow a loser. When it comes to choosing a savior, they won't settle for just a human being.”

“On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.”

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

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

“The amazing miracle of death, when one second you're walking and talking, and the next second you're an object.”

“Even the finest sword plunged into salt water will eventually rust.”

“Different languages, the same thoughts; servant to thoughts and their masters.”

“Let us cherish and love old age; for it is full of pleasure if one knows how to use it. Fruits are most welcome when almost over; youth is most charming at its close; the last drink delights the toper, the glass which souses him and puts the finishing touch on his drunkenness. Each pleasure reserves to the end the greatest delights which it contains. Life is most delightful when it is on the downward slope, but has not yet reached the abrupt decline.”

“I am dead because I lack desire,”

“Measure your day not by the money you're earning but by the unconditional love that you're giving away.”

“It's not oil that runs the world, it's shame.”
