“ეტყობა ბევრი ბავშვი იბადება, რაკი ამდენ ბაგასა და ბაღს აშენებენ. ბევრი ბავშვი… მერე რას შვრებიან რომ იბადებიან? სად მიდიან? არსად. იზრდებიან ნელ–ნელა. კბილებს იცვლიან. განათლებას იღებენ. განათლება თხელ ფენად ედებათ სხეულზე და გამომეტყველებაში და ჩაცმა დახურვაში იჩენს თავს. მერე დედაკაცებად და მამაკაცებად იქცევიან და სამსახურში დადიან. ყოველდღე. ყოველდღე. ყოველდღე. გზადაგზა გულგრილად გადააბიჯებენ ათივე მცნებას. გაივლიან ამქვეყნად და წავლენ. წასვლის წინ ზოგჯერ მოგვაგონდება, რომ დედამიწას ჩვენი კვალი არ ატყვია, და გული შეგვეკუმშება, მაგრამ იქვე ვინუგეშებთ თავს: შთამომავლობა ხომ დავტოვეთ. და მე თუ რამე არ მოვიმოქმედე, მთელს ჩემს გენეალოგიურ ხაზს ჯვარი დაესმება, აზრი დაეკარგება ყველა ჩემი წინაპრის ტანჯულ არსებობას. მაგრამ რას მოვიმოქმედებ მე? რას ჩავიდენ ისეთს, რომ ჩემმა წინაპრებმა შვებით ამოისუნთქონ და თქვან, ამაოდ არ ჩაუვლია ჩვენს იმედს, ამაოდ არ ვეწამეთ საუკუნეებისა და ათეული საუკუნეების მანძილზეო..”

“Warning: If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this useless fine print is another second off your life. Don't you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that you honestly can't think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all that claim it? Do you read everything you're supposed to read? Do you think every thing you're supposed to think? Buy what you're told to want? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex. Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you're alive. If you don't claim your humanity you will become a statistic. You have been warned.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club

“I’ve met God across his long walnut desk with his diplomas hanging on the wall behind him, and God asks me, “Why?”
Why did I cause so much pain?
Didn’t I realize that each of us is a sacred, unique snowflake of special unique specialness?
Can’t I see how we’re all manifestations of love?
I look at God behind his desk, taking notes on a pad, but God’s got this all wrong.
We are not special.
We are not crap or trash, either.
We just are.
We just are, and what happens just happens.
And God says, “No, that’s not right.”
Yeah. Well. Whatever. You can’t teach God anything.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club

The rug. Then you're trapped in your lovely nest, and the things you used to own, now they own you.”

The giant shadow hand was perfect for one minute, and for one perfect minute Tyler sat in the palm of a perfection he'd created himself. One minute was enough, Tyler said, a person had to work hard for it, but a minute of perfection was worth the effort. A moment was the most you could ever expect from perfection.”
