Request for favorite quotes!
Hey everyone,
We're doing some late Summer renovations at The Cult and one of the sections we would like to improve upon is our Book sections. We never had a great Quotes addition to each book section. Rather, I had to do outside links to other fan pages that had compiled their list of quotes. But many of these fan sites are no long gone, rendering the link defunct on our end.
So we need you to help us out! Everyone post their favorite FIGHT CLUB quotes in this thread as replies. After a week or so, we'll take all the quotes and compile them a new quotes sub-section for the respective master section.
Thanks!
Jack: "You're a tourist. I saw you at melanoma, tuberculosis and testicular cancer."
Marla: "I saw you practicing this...
Jack: "Practicing what?"
Marla: "Telling me off. Is it going as well as you hoped?"
"I felt like putting a bullet between the eyes of every Panda that wouldn't screw to save its species. I wanted to open the dump valves on oil tankers and smother all the French beaches I'd never see. I wanted to breathe smoke." -Jack
"If I did have a tumor, I would name it Marla. Marla, the little scratch on the roof of your mouth that would heal if only you would stop tonguing it, but you can't." -Jack
"We are a generation raised by women.
I'm wondering if another woman is the answer." -Tyler
"It's a bridesmaid's dress. Someone loved it intensely for one day, then tossed it. Like a Christmas tree -- so special, then, bam -- it's abandoned on the side of the road, tinsel still clinging to it. Like sex crime victims, underwear inside-out, bound with electrical tape." -Marla
"Man, you've got some fucked up friends.
Limber, though..." -Tyler
"The condom is the glass slipper of our generation. You slip it on, you dance the night away with a stranger, and then you throw it away - the condom, that is, not the stranger." -Marla
"Do you want to listen and see if my spirit can use the telephone?" -Marla
"In the event of a dildo, we have to use the indefinite
article 'a dildo', never 'your dildo'" -airport security guy
"Marla's philosophy was that she might die at any moment. The only real tragedy, she said, was that she didn't." -Jack
Jack: "When people think you're dying, they actually listen to you, rather than just--"
Marla: "--waiting for their turn to speak."
Jack: "...Exactly."
"We've been raised on television to believe that one day we'll all be millionaires and movie gods and rockstars....but we won't. We're slowly learning that fact. And we are very, very, pissed off."
-Tyler
"Nothing was to be known. Anything was to be expected.
"Without pain, without sacrifice, we would have nothing.
And then, something happened. I let go. Lost in oblivion. Dark and silent and complete. I found freedom. Losing all hope was freedom.
With insomnia, nothing is real. Everything is far away. Everything is a copy of a copy of a copy.
It's Only after we've lost everything that were free to do anything
Human kind cannot bear too much reality...
You are the music while the music lasts- T.S Elliot
"If your a male and living in America, you father is your model for God. And if your father ran out on you or was never around, what does that tell you about god?"
"What you have to understand is that God does not like you infact, God may hate you. This is not the worst thing that can happen."
**These may not be exact i did them from memory @ school**
if our fathers are our models for god,and our fathers bail. what does that tell you about god? you have to consider the possibilty that god does not like you,he never wanted you and all probabilty he hates you!
In Chuck "I" Trust

In Chuck "I" Trust
-= Taken from Chapter 16 of Fight Club =-
"We wanted to blast the world free of history...Picture yourself planting radishes and seed potatoes on the fifteenth green of a forgotten golf course. You'll hunt elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center, and dig clams next to the skeleton of the Space Needle leaning at a forty-five degree angle. We'll paint the skyscrapers with huge totem faces and goblin tikis, and every evening what's left of mankind will retreat to empty zoos and lock itself in cages as protection against the bears and big cats and wolves that pace and watch us from outside the cage bars at night."
"I am Jack's smirking revenge."
"single serving sugar, single serving cream, single pad of butter, the people i met on the plane, they were only single serving friends.."
"Consider it ass-hole tax."
Its just too good. Although I have watched the movie a bit more recently so some of the quotes might be more from the movie, oh well.
"I am Joe's Complete Lack of Surprise."
"'When a man is hit by lightning,' Tyler says, 'his head burns down to a smoldering baseball and his zipper welds itself shut.'"
"Nothing is static.
Everything is falling apart."
"I look at God behind his desk, taking notes on a pad, but God's got this all wrong.
We are not special.
We are not crap or trash, either.
We just are.
We just are, and what happens just happens.
And God says, 'No that's not right.'
Yeah. Well. Whatever. You can't teach God anything."
"I wanted to breath smoke."
From the book.
"all a gun does is focus an explosion in one direction"
The thing marla says on the phone about turning her mother into soap.
Movie.
"we have just lost cabin pressure"
"stuffing feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken."
[size=1]" The art of writing is like the art of giving head: relishing your dominion over the other body. ."[b] ~Gordon Lish[/b][/size]
" I am Jack's broken heart."
not nesseraly a quote but here it is:
worker bees can leave
even drones can fly away
the queen is their slave
i don't think it's right, but close enough
"...because a moment is all you can expect from perfection."
"Yes, these are bruises from fighting. Yes, I am comfortable with that. I, am enlightened."
and my ALL TIME FAVORITE QUOTE(my inspiration for my AIM and Xanga names):
Look up into the stars and you're gone.<333

"So, just to be clear, if I hug an imaginary man-friend...does that make me gay?
*Dances on the spot whimpering 'ohmigodohmigod'* "
~TerminalDescent[/CENTER]
Deskmonkey's is great, and i like ones from the book a lot cause all the movie quotes are so overdone... although some are the same...
Only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love...
(I would have put a kewl palahniuk quote... but that would be weird)

"I haven't been fucked like that since grade school"
-Marla
"The things you own end up owning you"
-Tyler
"Shit yourself, completly"
-The girl at the support group
"I'm so close to the end and all I want is to get laid one last time"
-Cloey
Also, if someone knows them word for word, someone should post the "Illusion of safety" and the "Could be worse, you could be sleeping and have a girl cut off your penis"
Look at the stars and you're gone.
[COLOR=YellowGreen][FONT=Arial]Facts are simple and facts are straight. Facts are lazy and facts are late. Facts all come with points of view, facts don't do what I want them to. Facts just twist the truth around. Facts are living turned inside out. Facts are getting the best of them. Facts are nothing on the face of things. Facts don't stain the furniture, facts go out and slam the door. Facts are written all over your face. Facts continue to change their shape.[/COLOR][/FONT]

This is a hard one...
Either "With a gun stuck in your mouth and the barrel of the gun between your teeth, you can only talk in vowels."
or
"That old saying, how you always kill the one you love, well, look, it works both ways. "
They are both right in the beggining, but Its just the impact of it all
" On a long enough time line, everyone's survival rate drops to zero. "
" It's not a threat to you. " - Marla Singer referring to "A" dildo.
" Wanna finish her off? " (Nicely pun tuated in the movie by the snap of Tyler's yellow rubber gloves).
I can't believe NO ONE submitted this one:
" I wanted to destroy something beautiful. "

*Dances on the spot whimpering 'ohmigodohmigod'* "
~TerminalDescent[/CENTER]

and this button downed oxford cloth psycho might just snap and then stalk from office to office with an armalite AR10 carbine gas powered semi automatic weapon. pumpin round after round into colleuges and coworkers. this maybe someone you've known for years. someone very, very close to you..
(tyler's words coming out of my mouth...and i used to be such a nice guy)
or maybe you shouldnt bring every piece of trash you happen to pick up.
compliance and liability.
"Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken" -Tyler
"The girl is infectious human waste, and she's confused and afraid to commit to the wrong thing so she won't commit to anything. The girl in 8G has no faith in herself and she's worried that as she grows older, she'll have fewer and fewer options."-Marla
All from the book:
I am Joe's Smirking Revenge.
"This isn't really death," Tyler says. "We'll be legend. We won't grow old."
I tongue the barrel into my cheek and say, Tyler, you're thinking of vampires.
Tyler and me at the edge of the roof, the gun in my mouth, I'm wondering how clean this gun is.
I told you! I spent last summer with my uncle hunting wolverines!

"i ran. i ran until my muscles burned and my veins pumped battery acid. then i ran some more."-jack
"you are not your grande latte"
"Technically, youre fucking marla, but its all the same to her."-tyler
My favorite Fight Club mantra:
May I never be complete.
May I never be content.
May I never be perfect.
-Asgenar

It's so quiet this high up, the feeling you get is that you're one of those space monkeys.
Pull a lever.
Push a button.
You don't understand any of it, and then you just die.

That's my favourite right there. Always has been. Always will be.
I can't remember if this is in the book or not (will check later), but my absolute favorite from the movie:
JACK
You see, when you travel, everything is --
TYLER
I grasp the concept. You're very clever.
JACK
Thank you.
TYLER
How's that working out for you? -- Being clever.
JACK (thrown off)
Well, uh ... uh ... great.
TYLER
Keep it up, then.
