Nobody wants to worship you i...

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.

The lower you fall, the higher you'll fly. The farther you run, the more God wants you back.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

Somehow people have been sold...

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.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

What you have to consider is ...

What you have to consider is the possibility that God doesn't like you. Could be, God hates us. This is not the worst thing that could happen.

These stories are ghosts, bringing people back from the dead. Just for a moment. For a visit. Every story is a ghost.

Some writers research in order to write. I write in order to research topics that interest me. Especially if I can meet with other people, in forums from illness support groups to phone-sex hotlines, and learn what other people know best.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

As an artist you organize you...

As an artist you organize your life so that you get a chance to paint, a window of time, but that's no guarantee you'll create anything worth all your effort. You're always haunt by the idea you're wasting your life.

I was tired and crazy and rushed, and every time I boarded a plane, I wanted the plane to crash. I envied people dying of cancer. I hated my life. I was tired and bored with my job and my furniture, and I couldn’t see any way to change things. Only end them.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

You gain power by pretending to be weak. By contrast, you make people feel strong. You save people by letting them save you.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

I think that young people are...

I think that young people are less attached to items and objects now. They're less attached to consuming things and accruing things because they see it as a system that doesn't necessarily work and give them a sense of adulthood and fulfillment. They're much more in tune with wanting to achieve a skill, a form of self-expression, or a body of knowledge that fulfills the same function, fulfills their adulthood.

That's how a good story works...

That's how a good story works. It changes how you feel. It brings you to a greater appreciation, a greater joy, of your own existence.

Chuck Palahniuk 1029 quotes

A good story isn't the one th...

A good story isn't the one that shuts everyone down and sort of leaves them in silent awe. A good story is one that, even before you finish the anecdote, you can see their eyes shining because it has so resonated with something from their own lives that everyone in the group has a version of the same story and they cannot wait to tell it, and that they're going to compete to make their version even more extreme than your version. So your version is just a seed.

Her voice makes me think of her mouth makes me think of her breath makes me think of her breasts.
