ASINSBALSS - Nav brīnums, ka man patīk viņa grāmatas. Čaks Palanjuks

- A minute of perfection was worth the effort. A moment was the most you could ever expect from perfection.
- Find out what you're afraid of and go live there.
- Give me rampant intellectualism as a coping mechanism.
- I just don't want to die without a few scars.
- I wanted to write about the moment when your addictions no longer hide the truth from you. When your whole life breaks down. That's the moment when you have to somehow choose what your life is going to be about.
- If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character, would you slow down? Or speed up?
- If I could wake up in a different place, at a different time, could I wake up as a different person?
- It's funny how you never think about the women you've had. It's always the ones who get away that you can't forget.
- Maybe we have to break everything to make something better out of ourselves.
- More and more, it feels like I'm doing a really bad impersonation of myself.
- Only through destroying myself can I discover the greater power of my spirit.
- Our Generation has had no Great war, no Great Depression. Our war is spiritual. Our depression is our lives.
- People don't want their lives fixed. Nobody wants their problems solved. Their dramas. Their distractions. Their stories resolved. Their messed cleaned up. Because what would they have left? Just the big scary unknown.
- People used what they called a telephone because they hated being close together and they were scared of being alone.
- Sometimes the past seems too big for the present to hold.
- Sometimes you do something, and you get screwed. Sometimes it's the things you don't do, and you get screwed.
- That saying, about how you always kill the thing you love, well, it works both ways.
- The only difference between suicide and martyrdom is press coverage.
- The only way to find true happiness is to risk being completely cut open.
- The trick to forgetting the big picture is to look at everything close-up.
- We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.
- We are not special. We are not crap or trash, either. We just are. We just are, and what happens just happens.
- What we don't understand we can make mean anything.
- When did the future switch from being a promise to a threat?
- You are not a beautiful, unique snowflake... This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time.
- You have a choice. Live or die. Every breath is a choice. Every minute is a choice. To be or not to be.
