“I do not trust people who don’t love themselves and yet tell me, ‘I love you.’ There is an African saying which is: Be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt.”

“I see in the 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 the history man, no purpose or place, we have no Great war, no Great depression, our great war is a spiritual war, our great depression is our lives, we’ve been all raised by 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.”
—Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk (via thechocolatebrigade)
“When you spend so much time looking at stars you tend to notice a lot more about society. You see it visually, that you’re on a moving rock situated in a whirling tornado of other stars swarming like bees, You think about all this and then come back down to earth and listen to what people complain about or what they think is important or how they idolize pieces of paper called money, or how some prefer to clasp their hands together thinking to make a difference.. You take a step back and think wow we are beyond this, we can be doing so much better. You just can’t help but feel so much apathy to the things that don’t matter.”
