“Only after disaster can we be resurrected. It’s only after you’ve lost everything that you’re free to do anything. Nothing is static, everything is evolving, everything is falling apart.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club
“I don’t want to die without any scars.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club
“This is your life and its ending one moment at a time.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club
“You buy furniture. You tell yourself, this is the last sofa I will ever need in my life. Buy the sofa, then for a couple years you’re satisfied that no matter what goes wrong, at least you’ve got your sofa issue handled. Then the right set of dishes. Then the perfect bed. The drapes. The rug. Then you’re trapped in your lovely nest, and the things you used to own, now they own you.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club
It’s only after you’ve lost everything that you’re free to do anything.

Let a guy enjoy his sofa for Chrissakes. If a guy gets enslaved, it’s less likely that it was by the sofa industry than by some crazy bitch who after bearing his children (so he’s stuck with her), becomes dissatisfied with everything from his shoes to his politics to their house all the way down to an otherwise perfectly good sofa.
