BOOK STARTERS VOL.13 ( FIGHT CLUB ) ( CHUCK PALAHNIUK ) ( TRIGGERING THEMES )
❛ It’s only after we’ve lost everything that we’re free to do anything. ❜
❛ I don’t want to die without any scars. ❜
❛ This is your life and it’s ending one moment at a time. ❜
❛ You know how they say you only hurt the ones you love? Well, it works both ways. ❜
❛ You are not your job, you’re not how much money you have in the bank. You are not the car you drive. You’re not the contents of your wallet. ❜
❛ You’re not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You’re the same decaying organic matter as everything else. ❜
❛ The things you used to own, now they own you. ❜
❛ Today is the sort of day where the sun only comes up to humiliate you. ❜
❛ Maybe we have to break everything to make something better out of ourselves. ❜
❛ Only after disaster can we be resurrected. ❜
❛ Everything is evolving, everything is falling apart. ❜
❛ We’ve all been raised believe that one day we’d all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won’t. ❜
❛ Don’t you have other things to do? ❜
❛ Prove you’re alive. If you don’t claim your humanity you will become a statistic. ❜
❛ You have been warned. ❜
❛ If you don’t know what you want, you end up with a lot you don’t. ❜
❛ It’s not love or anything, but I think I like you, too. ❜
❛ If I could wake up in a different place, at a different time, could I wake up as a different person? ❜
❛ Why did I cause so much pain? ❜
❛ The lower you fall, the higher you’ll fly. ❜
❛ Maybe self-improvement isn’t the answer, maybe self-destruction is the answer. ❜
❛ May I never be complete. May I never be content. May I never be perfect. ❜
❛ Everyone smiles with that invisible gun to their head. ❜
❛ We are not special. We are not crap or trash, either. We just are. We just are, and what happens just happens. ❜
❛ The girl is infectious human waste. ❜
❛ I want to destroy everything beautiful I’ll never have. ❜
❛ On a long enough time line, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero. ❜
❛ If you could be either God’s worst enemy or nothing, which would you choose? ❜
❛ It is like you’re never really awake; but you’re never really asleep. ❜
❛ Worker bees can leave. Even drones can fly away. The Queen is their slave. ❜
❛ A moment is the most you could ever expect from perfection. ❜
❛ The people you’re trying to step on, we’re everyone you depend on. ❜
❛ Reject the basic assumptions of civilisation, especially the importance of material possessions. ❜
❛ Without pain, without sacrifice we would have nothing. ❜
❛ You have to realise that someday you will die, Until you know that, you are useless. ❜
❛ A tiger can smile. A snake will say it loves you. ❜
❛ If you died right now, how would you feel about your life? ❜
❛ You always kill the one you love. ❜
❛ Maybe we should always assume the worst. ❜
❛ Put a gun to my head and paint the wall with my brains. ❜
❛ Which is worse? Hell or nothing? ❜
❛ A minute of perfection is worth the effort. ❜
❛ You’re going to die, tonight. You might die in one second or in one hour, you decide. ❜
❛ Lie to me. Tell me the first thing off the top of your head. Make something up. ❜
❛ I don’t give a shit. I have a gun. ❜
❛ I know who you are. I know where you live. ❜
❛ Tomorrow will be the most beautiful day of your life. ❜
❛ My philosophy of life is that I can die at any moment. And the tragedy of my life is that I do not. ❜
❛ Everything is so far away, a copy of a copy of a copy. You can’t touch anything and nothing can touch you. ❜
❛ There are a lot of things we don’t want to know about the people we love. ❜
❛ We just had a near-life experience. ❜
❛ If people think you are dying, they give you their full attention. They listen instead of just waiting for their turn to speak. ❜
❛ I am nothing, and not even that. ❜
❛ This isn’t really death. —- We’ll be legends. We won’t grow old. ❜
❛ Stop trying to control everything and just let go. Let go. ❜
❛ The amazing miracle of death, when one second you’re walking and talking, and the next second you’re an object. ❜
❛ Only if we’re caught and punished can we be saved. ❜
