Chuck PalahniukWhat you create when you're teaching fiction writing is a kind of literary salon, not a social club or a mutual admiration society, not a debating society, not a repair shop, not a fight club or a soap box. It's a place to have a conversation about a story.
John DufresneThere is a social contract in "Fight Club" and in "Choke" where the protagonist has deceived a whole bunch of people. In "Choke" it's all of these people who think that they've saved his life, and really care about him because they've embraced him and they've been his saviors.

It's this regurgitated idea of living in this, I don't know, one-night-stand moment that always starts at the club and Patrรณn. And so perspective, perspective, perspective is what I'm an advocate of.
