Fight Club Based Starters
“This is your life and it’s ending one minute at a time.”
“Fuck off with your sofa units and strine green stripe patterns, I say never be complete, I say stop being perfect, I say let… lets evolve, let the chips fall where they may.”
“What would you wish you’d done before you died?”
“If you died right now, how would you feel about your life?”
“Now, a question of etiquette - as I pass, do I give you the ass or the crotch?”
“With a gun barrel between your teeth, you speak only in vowels.”
“People do it everyday, they talk to themselves… they see themselves as they’d like to be, they don’t have the courage you have, to just run with it.”
“Fuck damnation, man! Fuck redemption! We are God’s unwanted children? So be it!”
“Listen, you can run water over your hand and make it worse or you can use vinegar and neutralize the burn.”
“First you have to give up, first you have to know… not fear… know that someday you’re gonna die.”
“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.”
“First person that comes out this fucking door gets a… gets a lead salad, you understand?”
“All the ways you wish you could be, that’s me. I look like you wanna look, I am smart, capable, and most importantly, I am free in all the ways that you are not.”
“It’s only after we’ve lost everything that we’re free to do anything.”
“I felt like destroying something beautiful.”
“You’re not your job. You’re not how much money you have in the bank. You’re not the car you drive. You’re not the contents of your wallet. You’re not your fucking khakis. You’re the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world.”
“When you have insomnia, you’re never really asleep… and you’re never really awake.”
“You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You’re the same decaying organic matter as everything else.”
“On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.”
“The first rule of Fight Club is: you do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is: you DO NOT talk about Fight Club! Third rule of Fight Club: someone yells "stop!”, goes limp, taps out, the fight is over. Fourth rule: only two guys to a fight. Fifth rule: one fight at a time, fellas. Sixth rule: No shirts, no shoes. Seventh rule: fights will go on as long as they have to. And the eighth and final rule: if this is your first time at Fight Club, you have to fight.“
"The things you own end up owning you.”
“How much can you know about yourself, you’ve never been in a fight? I don’t wanna die without any scars. So come on; hit me before I lose my nerve.”
“Did you know that if you mix equal parts of gasoline and frozen orange juice concentrate you can make napalm?”
“One could make all kinds of explosives, using simple household items.”
“Our fathers were our models for God. If our fathers bailed, what does that tell you about God?”
“You have to consider the possibility that God does not like you. He never wanted you. In all probability, he hates you. This is not the worst thing that can happen.”
“Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken.”
“You’re not getting this back. I consider it asshole tax.”
“If you wake up at a different time in a different place, could you wake up as a different person?”
“Without pain, without sacrifice, we would have nothing.”
“Lost in oblivion. Dark and silent and complete. I found freedom. Losing all hope was freedom.”
“You met me at a very strange time in my life.”
“Don’t worry about ticking ‘cause modern bombs don’t tick.”
“I *69ed you, I never pick up my phone.”
“Hitting bottom isn’t a weekend retreat. It’s not a goddamn seminar. Stop trying to control everything and just let go! LET GO!”
“WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! Ok, you are now firing a gun at your 'imaginary friend’ near 400 GALLONS OF NITROGLYCERINE!”
“I’ll bring us through this. As always. I’ll carry you - kicking and screaming - and in the end you’ll thank me.”
“Reject the basic assumptions of civilization, especially the importance of material possessions.”
“You wanna make an omelet, you gotta break some eggs.”
“We are all part of the same compost heap.”
“This is a chemical burn. It will hurt more than you’ve ever been burned before. You will have a scar.”
“When the fight was over, nothing was solved, but nothing mattered. We all felt saved.”
