Chuck Palahniuk Moment Quotations

A minute of perfection was worth the effort. A moment was the most you could ever expect from perfection.

We all have this moment, when your folks first see you as someone not growing up to be them.

I really believe it's the moments we can't talk about that become the rest of our lives. It's the moments we can't process by telling a story that destroy us in the end.

A moment is all you can expect from perfection.

When you reach the end of your life - trust me, you won't look back and savor the moments you spent alone.

Who you are moment to moment is just a story.

There's a moment in every book when the book turns and it surprises me.

Ideas come at any moment -- except when you demand them. Most ideas come while I'm physically active, at the gym, with friends, gardening, so I always carry pen and paper. My first draft is always written in longhand. But once the first dozen chapters, more like short stories, are written, then momentum builds until I can't leave the project until it's done.

Don't write about your most emotionally charged moment as a learning thing.

I thought we were a real love relationship. I did. I was very invested in love, but it was just this long long sex thing that could end at any moment because after all, it's just about getting off. Almost all the time, you tell yourself you're loving somebody when you're just using them. This only looks like love.

This is your life and its ending one moment at a time.

It seemed that moment would last forever. That you had to risk your life to get love. You had to get right to the edge to ever be saved.
