(b. 1962) American Satirist, Novelist, Journalist [Chuck Palahniuk at Amazon]
The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles, wood rots, people, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on.
The best way to waste your life, … is by taking notes. The easiest way to avoid living is to just watch. Look for the details. Report. Don’t participate.
We all die. The goal isn’t to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.
