invisible monsters

"now, you are going to tell me your story like you just did. write it down. tell that story over and over. tell me your sad-assed story all night. when you understand that what you're telling is just a story. it isn't happening anymore. when you realize the story is just words, when you can just crumble it up and throw your past in the trashcan, then we'll figure out who you're going to be."

"television makes us god. when you watch daytime dramas you can look in on anybody. there's a different life on every channel, and almost every hour the lives change. it's the same as those live video web sites. you can watch the whole world without it knowing.
and if you believe that we really have free will, then you know that god can't really control us. and since god cant control us all god does is watch and change channels when he gets bored."

"when did the future switch from being a promise to being a threat?"

"only when we eat up this planet will god give us another. we'll be remembered more for what we destroy than what we create."

these are all quotes from the novel invisible monsters by chuck palahniuk. i suggest this book to everyone. it really makes you think.. and i love it so much!
