You’ve thrown down the gauntlet. you’ve brought my wrath down upon your house. now, to prove that i exist i must kill you. as the child outlives the father, so must the character bury the author. if you are, in fact, my continuing author, then killing you will end my existence as well. small loss. such a life, as your puppet, is not worth living. but… if i destroy you and your dreck script, and i still exist… then my existence will be glorious, for i will become my own master.

More From Chuck Palahniuk

I am determined not to kill, not to let others kill, and not to condone any act of killing in the world, in my thinking, and in my way of life. we cannot support any act of killing; no killing can be justified. but not to kill is not enough ... if in your thinking you allow the killing to go on, you also break this precept. we must be determined not to condone killing, even in our minds.
Thinking Support Mind
His master’s pain was his pain. and it hurt him more for his master to be sick than for him to be sick himself. when the house started burning down, that type of negro would fight harder to put the master’s house out than the master himself would. but then you had another negro out in the field. the house negro was in the minority. the masses—the field negroes were the masses. they were in the majority. when the master got sick, they prayed that he’d die. if his house caught on fire, they'd pray for a wind to come along and fan the breeze.

We see only the script and not the paper on which the script is written. the paper is there, whether the script is on it or not. to those who look upon the script as real, you have to say that it is unreal - an illusion - since it rests upon the paper. the wise person looks upon both paper and script as one.
Wise Real Looks
I'm not a master. i'm a student-master, meaning that i have the knowledge of a master and the expertise of a master, but i'm still learning. so i'm a student-master. i don't believe in the word 'master.' i consider the master as such when they close the casket.
