You have to know, not fear, know that someday you're going to die.
This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time.
Only after disaster can we be resurrected.
Its only after you have lost everything that you are free to do anythng.
The things you own end up owning you.
I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.
In the world I see, you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower and when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway.
With insomnia, nothing is real. Everything is far away. Everything is a copy of a copy of a copy.
I would flip through catalogs and wonder, "What kind of dining set defines me as a person?" We used to read pornography. Now it was the Horchow Collection.
I found freedom. Losing all hope was freedom.
When people think you're dying, they really listen... Instead of just waiting for their turn to speak.
My dearest Marla.
You will always be in my heart. you have been there from the beginning, and ill never forget that. Ill always be waiting for you..
