Chuck Palahniuk
“I feel my heart ache, but I've forgotten what that feeling means.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Choke

Chuck Palahniuk
“Don't do what you want. Do what you don't want. Do what you're trained not to want. Do the things that scare you the most.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Invisible Monsters

Chuck Palahniuk
“I let go. Lost in oblivion. Dark and silent and complete. I found freedom. Losing all hope was freedom.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club

Mark Z. Danielewski
“Little solace comes
to those who grieve
when thoughts keep drifting
as walls keep shifting
and this great blue world of ours
seems a house of leaves

moments before the wind.”
Mark Z. Danielewski, House of Leaves

Chuck Palahniuk
“Fuck me. I'm so tired of being me. Me beautiful. Me ugly. Blonde. Brunette. A million fucking fashion makeovers that only leave me trapped being me.
Who I was before the accident is just a story now. Everything before now, before now, before now, is just a story I carry around. I guess that would apply to anybody in the world. What I need is a new story about who I am.
What I need to do is fuck up so bad I can't save myself.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Invisible Monsters
