Skin, bones, blood and organs transplant from person to person. Even whatโs inside you already, the colonies of microbes and bugs that eat your food for you, without them youโd die. Nothing of you is all-the-way yours. All of you is inherited. Whatever youโre thinking, a million other folks are thinking. Whatever you do, theyโre doing, and none of you is responsible. All of you is a cooperative effort.
Chuck PalahniukPicture anybody growing up so stupid he didn't know that hope is just another phase you'll grow out of.
Chuck PalahniukI think that young people are less attached to items and objects now. They're less attached to consuming things and accruing things because they see it as a system that doesn't necessarily work and give them a sense of adulthood and fulfillment. They're much more in tune with wanting to achieve a skill, a form of self-expression, or a body of knowledge that fulfills the same function, fulfills their adulthood.
