“The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. If you can change the way people think. The way they see themselves. The way they see the world. You can change the way people live their lives. That’s the only lasting thing you can create.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, (Choke)
“When you understand that what you’re telling is just a story. It isn’t happening anymore. When you realize the story you’re telling is just words, when you can just crumble it up and throw your past in the trashcan, then we’ll figure out who you’re going to be.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, (Invisible Monsters)
“Be famous. Be a big social experiment in getting what you don’t want. Find value in what we’ve been taught is worthless. Find good in what the world says is evil. I’m giving you my life because I want the whole world to know you. I wish the whole world would embrace what it hates. Find what you’re afraid of most and go live there.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, (Invisible Monsters)
“There is something demoralizing about watching two people get more and more crazy about each other, especially when you are the only extra person in the room. It’s like watching Paris from an express caboose heading in the opposite direction—every second the city gets smaller and smaller, only you feel it’s really you getting smaller and smaller and lonelier and lonelier, rushing away from all those lights and excitement at about a million miles an hour.”
— Sylvia Plath (The Bell Jar)
“Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead.”
— Charles Bukowski
«Porque la única gente que me interesa es la que está loca, la que está loca por vivir, loca por hablar, loca por salvarse, con ganas de todo al mismo tiempo, la gente que nunca bosteza ni habla de lugares comunes, sino que arde, arde como fabulosos cohetes amarillos explotando igual que arañas entre estrellas y entonces se ve estallar una luz azul y todo el mundo suelta un “Aaaaah!”»
Jack Kerouac - En el camino (via thecovasnake)
“People think dreams aren’t real just because they aren’t made of matter, of particles. Dreams are real, but they are made of viewpoints, of images, of memories and puns and lost hopes.”
— Neil Gaiman
“Hay momentos para recitar poesías y hay momentos para boxear.”
