More From Chuck Palahniuk

I've never seen a sincere white man, not when it comes to helping black people. usually things like this are done by white people to benefit themselves. the white man's primary interest is not to elevate the thinking of black people, or to waken black people, or white people either. the white man is interested in the black man only to the extent that the black man is of use to him. the white man's interest is to make money, to exploit.
Men Thinking White Man
White people scare the crap out of me. i have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord, never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and i've never heard a black person say, 'we're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here - have a nice day!'
Movie Jobs Nice
Dear white fella when i am born i’m black when i grow up i’m black when i am sick i’m black when i go out ina sun i’m black when i git cold i’m black when i git scared i’m black and when i die i’m still black. but you white fella when you’re born you’re pink when you grow up you’re white when you git sick you’re green when you go out ina sun you go red when you git cold you go blue when you git scared you’re yellow and when you die you’re grey and you got the cheek to call me coloured?
Growing Up Yellow White
I love everything black, because black is cool. when something crosses over, people are like, "oh, this is a crossover." first of all, there is no urban anymore. pop culture is black. white kids are dressing like black kids. it's all crossed the lines now. the way i understand it is, everything black is cool. when it crosses over to white, that means it's going from cool to uncool. that's what crossover is.
Mean Kids White
If the white man can come here uneducated and as an immigrant, and within 10 or 15 years set up an industry that provides job opportunities and educational opportunities for black people, then if the black man, the black leadership, who has access to all of this money and has all of these degrees today, can't use his talent and his know-how to set up business opportunities, job opportunities, housing opportunities for the black people the same as the white leaders have done for white people, then these black leaders need to get off the boat.
Jobs Educational Opportunity
...black women write differently from white women. this is the most marked difference of all those combinations of black and white, male and female. it's not so much that women write differently from men, but that black women write differently from white women. black men don't write very differently from white men.

Similar Quotes
I thought i could capture the stories of the city on paper. i thought i could write about the horrors of the city. horror stories you see. i tell you i didn't have to look far for material. everywhere i looked, there were stories hidden there in the dark corners. . . . i wrote and still there were more. . . . no one would publish them. 'too horrible,' they said. 'sick mind,' they said. i thought i could write about the horrors of the city but the horror is too big and it goes on forever.
Writing Dark Horror Stories
You know that fiction, prose rather, is possibly the roughest trade of all in writing. you do not have the reference, the old important reference. you have the sheet of blank paper, the pencil, and the obligation to invent truer than things can be true. you have to take what is not palpable and make it completely palpable and also have it seem normal and so that it can become a part of experience of the person who reads it.
Writing Important Paper
I used to think i'd like to be a fireman - in fact, i still would - and the only drawback i could see was coming back to the firehouse, after a day of fighting fires, and still having to put in an eight-hour day writing.

Sometimes you have to be less ashamed about writing a bad poem than you would be about being silent.
