Chuck Palahniuk Quotes and Sayings

Letting our past decide our future. Or we can decide for ourselves. And maybe it’s our job to invent something better. ~ Chuck Palahniuk. Every generation wants to be the last. Every generation hates the next trend in music they can’t understand. We hate to give up those reins of our culture. To find our own music playing in elevators. The ballad for our revolution, turned into background music for a television commercial. To find our generation’s clothes and hair suddenly retro. ~ Chuck Palahniuk.

That’s how your whole life will feel some day.This is all practice. ~ Chuck Palahniuk. People fall so in love with their pain, they can’t leave it behind. The same as the stories they tell.
