I think Chris Brown gets kind of dismissed as a gay writer, and I think Chris's books are really, really smart. I wish his books sold a little more widely.
From Chuck Palahniuk
The act of writing is a way of tricking yourself into revealing something that you would never consciously put into the world. Sometimes I'm shocked by the deeply personal things I've put into books without realizing it.
When I visit my brother in South Africa, I order things I've only seen in zoos. Little deers and kudu, all the mammals you would never think of eating.
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.
As a lower-class kid, I was raised to think success would be owning stuff. Having that great job, too. Now I find my parents' dream was wrong. You never really own anything. And you're never really finished as a person.
If I could wake up in a different place, at a different time, could I wake up as a different person?
I used to work in a funeral home to feel good about myself, just the fact that I was breathing.
Everyone smiles with that invisible gun to their head.
Give me rampant intellectualism as a coping mechanism.
Every woman is just a different kind of problem.
