Chuck Palahniuk
“When you think about it, Johnny Appleseed was a fucking ecological terrorist.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Lullaby

Aldous Huxley
“It was a masterly piece of work. But once you began admitting explanations in terms of purpose— well, you didn't know what the result might be. It was the sort of idea that might easily decondition the more unsettled minds among the higher castes—make them lose their faith in happiness as the Sovereign Good and take to believing, instead, that the goal was somewhere beyond, somewhere outside the present human sphere; that the purpose of life was not the maintenance of well-being, but some intensification and refining of consciousness, some enlargement of knowledge. Which was, the Controller reflected, quite possibly true. But not, in the present circumstance, admissible.”
Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

Chuck Palahniuk
“You only ask people about themselves so you can tell them about yourself.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Invisible Monsters

Chuck Palahniuk
“I tiger can smile
A snake will say it loves you
Lies make us evil”
Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club

George Orwell
“He was an embittered atheist (the sort of atheist who does not so much disbelieve in God as personally dislike Him), and took a sort of pleasure in thinking that human affairs would never improve.”
George Orwell, Down and Out in Paris and London
