Fight Club

An exit-door procedure at 30.000 feet. Mm-hmm. The illusion of safety.

If you don't know what you want, you end up with a lot you don't.

We've had a near-life experience!

It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything.

The things you own end up owning you.

You met me at a very strange time in my life.

Narrator: Tyler, you are by far the most interesting single-serving friend I've ever met. ... See, I have this thing: everything on a plane is single-serving...
Tyler Durden: Oh, I get it. It's very clever.
Narrator: Thank you.
Tyler Durden: How's that working out for you?
Narrator: What?
Tyler Durden: Being clever.
Narrator: ... Great.

The first rule of fight club is — you don't talk about fight club.
The second rule of fight club is — you don't talk about fight club.
The third rule in fight club is — when someone says "stop" or goes
limp, the fight is over. The fourth rule is — only two guys to a fight.
Fifth rule — one fight at a time.
Sixth rule — no shirts or shoes.
Seventh rule — fights go on as long as they have to.
And the eighth rule of fight club is — if this is your first night, you *have* to fight.

After fighting, everything else in your life got the volume turned down. <...> You can deal with anything.

You wanna make an omelet, you gotta break some eggs.

I found freedom. Losing all hope was freedom.

When you have a gun in your mouth, you can only speak in vowels.

This is how I met Marla Singer. Marla's philosophy of life is that she might die at any moment. The tragedy, she said, was that she didn't.

For six months I could not sleep. With insomnia, nothing's real. Everything is far away. Everything is a copy of a copy of a copy.

— When people think you're dying, they really, really listen to you, instead of just…
— …instead of just waiting for their turn to speak?

When you have insomnia, you're never really asleep... and you're never really awake.
