Charles Michael « Chuck » Palahniuk [tʃʌk ˈpɔːlənɪk], né le 21 février 1962 à Pasco dans l'État de Washington, est un romancier satirique américain et un journaliste indépendant. Après des études de journalisme qui ne lui permettent pas de vivre de ce métier, il devient mécanicien pendant 10 ans. Il écrit à cette époque Monstres Invisibles qui est refusé par les éditeurs en raison de son contenu trop provocant. Il entreprend alors l'écriture de Fight Club qui rencontre un succès notable et est porté à l'écran en 1999 par David Fincher. Il est assimilé au mouvement dit d'anticipation sociale. Wikipedia

Chuck Palahniuk citations célèbres

“Personne ne veut reconnaître que nous sommes des drogués de musique. Ce n'est tout bonnement pas possible. Personne n'est drogué de musique, de télévision, de radio. Simplement, il nous en faut plus et plus, nous en avons besoin, plus de chaines, un écran plus grand, plus de volume. Nous ne supportons pas de nous en passer, mais, non personne n'est drogué.
Nous pourrions l'éteindre dès que nous le voudrions.”

Chuck Palahniuk

“Et puis, quand ils sont épuisés, les hommes et les femmes vont à l'église.
Et ils se marient.
Être fatigué n'est pas la même chose qu'être riche, mais la plupart du temps c'est assez proche.”

Chuck Palahniuk

Then, when they're exhausted, the men and woman go to church.
And they get married.
Being tired isn't the same as being rich, but most times it's close enough.

Cette phrase est tirée de la post-face de l'édition 2006 de Fight Club et non du roman lui-même.
Fight Club

“Tu as une classe entière de jeunes hommes et femmes forts et solides, et ils veulent donner leur vie pour quelque chose. La publicité les fait tous courir après des voitures et des vêtements dont ils n'ont pas besoin. Ils travaillent dans des métiers qu'ils haïssent, par générations entières, uniquement pour pouvoir acheter ce dont ils n'ont pas
vraiment besoin. Nous n'avons pas de grande guerre dans notre génération, ni de grande dépression, mais si, pourtant,
nous avons bien une grande guerre de l'esprit. Nous avons une grande révolution contre la culture. La grande dépression, c'est nos existences.
Nous avons une grande dépression spirituelle.”

“Some stories, she'd say, the more you tell them, the faster you use them up. Those kind, the drama burns off, and every version, they sound more silly and flat. The other kind of story, it uses you up. The more you tell it, the stronger it gets. Those kind of stories only remind you how stupid you were. Are. Will always be.”

Haunted (2005)

“I do hereby and forever abandon abandoning all hope. Honestly, I give up on giving up. I'm just not cut out to be some hopeless, disillusioned wretch with no aspirations for the rest of the eternity, sprawled catatonic in my own feces on a cold stone floor. In all probability the Human Genome Project will, someday, find that I carry some recessive gene for optimism, because despite all my best efforts I still can't scrape together even a couple of days of hopelessness. Future scientists would call it Pollyanna Syndrome, and if forced to guess, I'd say that mine has been a way-long case of history chasing rainbows.”

“The whole idea of men creating perfect robot women for their own pleasure, it happens every day. The most "beautiful" women you see in public, none of them are for real. They're just men perpetuating their perverted stereotypes of women. Just the oldest story in the world. There's a penis on every page of Cosmopolitan magazine if you know where to look.”
