"In the world I see; you're stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway."

"Man, I see in Fight Club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see it squandered. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars, but we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off."

"Our fathers were our models for God, if our fathers bailed, what does that tell you about God?"

"Self-improvement is masturbation. Now, self-destruction..."

"Gentlemen, welcome to Fight Club. The first rule of Fight Club is: You do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is: YOU DO NOT. TALK. ABOUT FIGHT CLUB! Third rule of Fight Club: Someone yells "Stop!", goes limp, taps out, the fight is over. Fourth rule: Only two guys to a fight. Fifth rule: One fight at a time, fellas. Sixth rule: No shirts, no shoes. Seventh rule: Fights will go on as long as they have to. And the eighth and final rule: If this is your first night at Fight Club, you have to fight."

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

"I want you to really listen to me. My eyes are open."

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

"Tyler built himself an army. Why was Tyler Durden building an army? To what purpose? For what greater good? In Tyler we trusted."

"Fight club wasn't about winning or losing. It wasn't about words. The hysterical shouting was in tongues, like at a Pentecostal Church."

"With insomnia, nothing's real. Everything's far away. Everything's a copy of a copy of a copy."

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

"I am Jack's smirking revenge."

"I am Jack's wasted life."

"I felt like destroying something beautiful."

"On a long enough time line, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero."

"Look, nobody takes this more seriously than me. That condo was my life. Ok? I love every stick of furniture in that place. That was not just a bunch of stuff that got destroyed. It was me!"

"I am Jack's... complete lack of surprise."

"You wake up at SeaTac, SFO, LAX. You wake up at O'Hare, Dallas-Fort Worth, BWI. Pacific, mountain, central. Lose an hour, gain an hour. This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time."

"Strangers with this kind of honesty make me go a big blubbery one."

"If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person?"

"When the fight was over, nothing was solved, but nothing mattered. We all felt saved."

"People are always asking me if I know Tyler Durden."

"Bob had bitch tits."

"It was in one of those cinema books as one of the greatest screenplays ever written that had never been produced."

"You're setting fire to Robin on the first day?! What are you, nuts? It's not like we can replace her!"

"OH, MY GOD! HER DRESS IS ON FIRE! SHE'S ON FIRE!!!"

"She gets kidnapped. He gets killed. But it all ends up okay."

"Heroes. Giants. Villains. Miracle Men. True Love. - Not just your basic, average, everyday, ordinary, run-of-the-mill, ho-hum fairy tale."

"It's as real as the feelings you feel"

"Scaling the Cliffs of Insanity, Battling Rodents of Unusual Size, Facing torture in the Pit of Despair. - True love has never been a snap."

"I always think everything could be a trap...which is why I'm still alive."

"[to Inigo] You're that little Spanish brat I taught a lesson to all those years ago. Simply incredible. Have you been chasing me all this time, only to fail now? I think that's the worst thing I've ever heard of. How marvelous."

"[to Westley] Beautiful, isn't it? It took me half a lifetime to invent it. I'm sure that you've discovered my deep and abiding interest in pain. At present, I'm writing the definitive work on the subject, so I want you to be totally honest with me on how the machine makes you feel. This being our first try, I'll use the lowest setting. As you know, the concept of the suction pump is centuries old. Really, that's all this is, except that instead of sucking water, I'm sucking life. [the machine activates; Westley screams] I've just sucked one year of your life away. I might one day go as high as five, but I really don't know what that would do to you, so let's just start with what we have. What did this do to you? Tell me. And remember, this is for posterity, so be honest. How do you feel? [Westley whimpers] Interesting."

"[to Buttercup] There is a shortage of perfect breasts in this world. It would be a pity to damage yours."

"[after knocking out Fezzik] I don't envy you the headache you'll have when you awake. But, in the meantime, rest well...and dream of large women."
