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

Why wasn't I included!!!???

Jack: "You're a tourist. I saw you at melanoma, tuberculosis and testicular cancer."
Marla: "I saw you practicing this...
Jack: "Practicing what?"
Marla: "Telling me off. Is it going as well as you hoped?"

"I felt like putting a bullet between the eyes of every Panda that wouldn't screw to save its species. I wanted to open the dump valves on oil tankers and smother all the French beaches I'd never see. I wanted to breathe smoke." -Jack

"If I did have a tumor, I would name it Marla. Marla, the little scratch on the roof of your mouth that would heal if only you would stop tonguing it, but you can't." -Jack

"We are a generation raised by women.
I'm wondering if another woman is the answer." -Tyler

"It's a bridesmaid's dress. Someone loved it intensely for one day, then tossed it. Like a Christmas tree -- so special, then, bam -- it's abandoned on the side of the road, tinsel still clinging to it. Like sex crime victims, underwear inside-out, bound with electrical tape." -Marla

"Man, you've got some fucked up friends.
Limber, though..." -Tyler

"The condom is the glass slipper of our generation. You slip it on, you dance the night away with a stranger, and then you throw it away - the condom, that is, not the stranger." -Marla

"Do you want to listen and see if my spirit can use the telephone?" -Marla

"In the event of a dildo, we have to use the indefinite
article 'a dildo', never 'your dildo'" -airport security guy

"Marla's philosophy was that she might die at any moment. The only real tragedy, she said, was that she didn't." -Jack

"im not mean, im not rude, im just condecending towards certain people at different times." - ryan forde

"Nothing was to be known. Anything was to be expected.

"Without pain, without sacrifice, we would have nothing.

And then, something happened. I let go. Lost in oblivion. Dark and silent and complete. I found freedom. Losing all hope was freedom.

With insomnia, nothing is real. Everything is far away. Everything is a copy of a copy of a copy.

It's Only after we've lost everything that were free to do anything

My favourite quote from Fight Club is 'When I pass people in the hall at work, I get totally ZEN right in everyone's hostlie little faces' I think that's the right quote...I laughed my arse off for ages when I first read those lines.

Here's another one, 'It's easy to cry when you realise* everyone you love will reject you or die'
* it might be 'know'

if our fathers are our models for god,and our fathers bail. what does that tell you about god? you have to consider the possibilty that god does not like you,he never wanted you and all probabilty he hates you!

y isn't there neone posting ne fight club quotes....fight club is the movie that got every1 here in the first place...neways all i have to say is that fight club is the greatest movie of all time and there should be 8 pages of quotes here.

Tyler: "...Well you did lose a lot of versatile solutions to modern living."

Tyler: "...the things you own end up owning you."

"you know, the condom is the glass slipper of our generation. you dance all night, then you throw it away. the condom i mean, not the stranger."

"I am Joe's Complete Lack of Surprise."

"'When a man is hit by lightning,' Tyler says, 'his head burns down to a smoldering baseball and his zipper welds itself shut.'"

"Nothing is static.
Everything is falling apart."

"I look at God behind his desk, taking notes on a pad, but God's got this all wrong.
We are not special.
We are not crap or trash, either.
We just are.
We just are, and what happens just happens.
And God says, 'No that's not right.'
Yeah. Well. Whatever. You can't teach God anything."

"I wanted to breath smoke."

From the book.

"all a gun does is focus an explosion in one direction"
The thing marla says on the phone about turning her mother into soap.

Movie.

"we have just lost cabin pressure"
"stuffing feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken."

i cant believe no one has said the best quote.

"Put a gun to my head and paint the walls with my brain"

" I am Jack's broken heart."
not nesseraly a quote but here it is:

worker bees can leave
even drones can fly away
the queen is their slave

i don't think it's right, but close enough

"...because a moment is all you can expect from perfection."

"Yes, these are bruises from fighting. Yes, I am comfortable with that. I, am enlightened."

and my ALL TIME FAVORITE QUOTE(my inspiration for my AIM and Xanga names):

Look up into the stars and you're gone.<333

Deskmonkey's is great, and i like ones from the book a lot cause all the movie quotes are so overdone... although some are the same...

[B]i hated you already, now i have a reason :P-izen[/B][/QUOTE]
yah! i got into somebody's sig finally!

"I haven't been fucked like that since grade school"
-Marla

"The things you own end up owning you"
-Tyler

"Shit yourself, completly"
-The girl at the support group

"I'm so close to the end and all I want is to get laid one last time"
-Cloey

Also, if someone knows them word for word, someone should post the "Illusion of safety" and the "Could be worse, you could be sleeping and have a girl cut off your penis"

Look at the stars and you're gone.

"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." by HST and "You're not your fucking khakis."

Is there anything in any of his books that isn't quotable?

This is a hard one...

Either "With a gun stuck in your mouth and the barrel of the gun between your teeth, you can only talk in vowels."

or

"That old saying, how you always kill the one you love, well, look, it works both ways. "

They are both right in the beggining, but Its just the impact of it all

[B]Look at the stars and you're gone. [/B][/QUOTE] um....no "Look up into the stars and you're gone."

All from the book:

I am Joe's Smirking Revenge.

"This isn't really death," Tyler says. "We'll be legend. We won't grow old."
I tongue the barrel into my cheek and say, Tyler, you're thinking of vampires.

Tyler and me at the edge of the roof, the gun in my mouth, I'm wondering how clean this gun is.

My favorite Fight Club mantra:

May I never be complete.
May I never be content.
May I never be perfect.

"the girl who lived there used to be a charming, loving girl...she has lost faith in herself! shes a monster! Shes infectious human waste! good luck trying to save her!" -marla singer[/QUOTE]

That's my favourite right there. Always has been. Always will be.

I can't remember if this is in the book or not (will check later), but my absolute favorite from the movie:

JACK
You see, when you travel, everything is --

TYLER
I grasp the concept. You're very clever.

JACK
Thank you.

TYLER
How's that working out for you? -- Being clever.

JACK (thrown off)
Well, uh ... uh ... great.

TYLER
Keep it up, then.

It's only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything.

[B]"Our fathers are our models for god. If our fathers bailed, what does that tell you about god?...You have to consider the possibility that god doesn't want you, in all probability he hates you."...."We are gods unwanted children, so be it. Fuck damnation man, fuck redemption"...Tyler Durden

"It's only after we've lost everything we are free to do anything"...Tyler Durden

"I want you to hit me as hard as you can".....Tyler Durden

Jack--"Compliance and liability."
Marla--"My tit's gonna rot off."

"And I use to be such a nice guy"...Jack

Tyler--"Any historical figure?"
Jack--"I'd fight Ghandi."
Tyler--"Good answer."

"Fuck Martha Stwert, Martha is polishing brass on the titanic, it's all going down man. So, fuck off with your string green stripe patterns...I say let the chips fall where they may, lets evolve."...Tyler Durden

"I'm a 30 year old boy, i can't get married."...Jack[/B]

Jack--"see i have this thoery everything on a plane is...."
Tyler--"Oh, i get it. Very clever."
Jack--"Thanks."
Tyler--"How's that working out for you?"
Jack--"What?"
Tyler--"Being clever."
Jack--"Great."
Tyler--"Keep it up then."
Tyelr--"Right up."
Tyler--"Now, a question of ettiequet(spelling?),as i pass do i give you the ass or the crotch?"

Tyler--"Could be worse, you could have your penis cut off and thrown out of the window of a moving car while you were sleeping."
Jack--"There's always that."

Tyler--"Exit door procedure at 30,000 ft, illusion of saftey"
Jack--"I guess, ya."
Tyler--"Do know why the put oxygen on planes?'
Jack--"So you can breathe."
Tyelr--"No, oxygen gets you high. In a catastrophic emergency you're taking giant panic breaths. You suddenly become euphoric, docile. You accept your fate."
Jack--"Thats an interesting theory."
Tyler--"It's all right here, emergency water door landing at 600 ft., blank faces, calm as hindu cows."

Jack--"What do you do?"
Tyler--"What?"
Jack--"What do you do for a living?"
Tyler--"Why so you can pretend like you're intrested?"
Jack--"hahaha."
Tyler--"You have some kind of sick desperiation in your laugh."
Jack--"Hey, we have the exact same briefcase."
Tyler--"Soap."
Jack--"Excuse me."
Tyler--"I make and I sell soap, the yard stick of civilization."

[QUOTE=jACKs c0Ld sWEAt]um....no "Look up into the stars and you're gone."[/QUOTE]

You're both wrong. It's "Look up at the stars and you're gone."

K.

i love the whole speach tyler gives at fight club, it shows the first real time he leads the guys, he gets them riled up and shows them wuts wrong with their lives
so i typed it out

" I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who ever lived. I see all this potential -- and i see it squandered
God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas and waiting tables; slaves with white collars.
Advertisements have us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need.
We are the middle children of history, men. No purpose, no 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 by television to believe
that one day we'll 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."

my other favorite is wut i like to call the fight club creed:

"the liberator who destroyed my property has re-aligned my paradigm of perception

I reject the basic assumptions of civilization, especially the importance of material possession"

and one more, wen they're in the car

"Hitting bottom is not a weekend-retreat, it's not a goddamn seminar. Stop trying controlling everything and
just let go. Let go!"

now can anyone get me the warning thing before the movie starts?
mostly it tells you you shouldnt be reading it but im curious...and my dvd player wont pause it there

"Alright, ya know what? I'm going inside and I'm going to get a [I]shovel[/I]."

"I wanted to destroy everything beautiful i'd never have. Burn the Amazon rain forests. Pump Chlorofluorocarbons stright up to gobble the ozone layer. Open the dump valve on supertankers and uncap offshore oil wells. I wanted to kill all the fish i couldn't afford to eat, and smother the French beaches i'd never see. I wanted the whole world to hit bottom. Pounding that kid, i really wanted to put a bullet between the eyes of every endangered panda that wouldn't screw to save its species and every whale or dolphin that gave up and ran itself aground. Don't think of this as extinction. Think of this as downsizing. For thousands of years, human beings had screwed up and trashed and crapped on this planet, and now history expected me to clean up after everyone. I have to wash out and flatten my soup cans. And account for every drop of used motor oil. And now i have to foot the bill for nuclear waste and buried gasoline tanks and landfilled toxic sludge dumped a generation before i was born."___Narrator of Fight Club.

"I wanted to breathe smoke."___Narrator of Fight Club.

"What would Jesus not do."___Victor Mancini.

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

Never has a truer statement been written.

Has anyone ever told this to a christian? i actually made a guy cry with that one.

You have to know, not fear that someday, you are going to die. Until you know that and embrace that, you are useless.

I will carry you through, kicking and screaming, and in the end you will thank me.

You could be cursed with the three terrible Karmas; beauty, rich and fame.

If I did have a tumor, I would name it Marla. Marla, the little scratch on the roof of your mouth that would heal if only you would stop tonguing it, but you can't.

[QUOTE=Styrene]You're both wrong. It's "Look up at the stars and you're gone."

Dude, you're wrong. In the book with the Pitt/Norton cover, page 31, line 21-22. Keep in mind that I AM aware that Chuck re-uses a varied version of the line throughout the rest of the book (i.e. page 143, last line, is the one you quoted).

"paint a self portrait!"

"It was beautiful, we were selling rich women their own fat asses [right] back to them."

[i] I know that one's from the movie, but come on, it's hilarious![/i]

From the move, not the book (I think).
Tyler - looking at the huge rubber dildo/penis on Marla's dresser
Marla: "Don't worry, its not a threat to you."

[QUOTE=TexasFan]From the move, not the book (I think).

It's from both actually.

I finished Fight Club a couple days ago and am a big fan of the movie. The main reason I like it so much is because it has so many good quotes and really makes you think, it has to beone of the greatest books of all time.

So.... I was just wondering what your favorite quote was (book or movie).
Mine would have to be the part where Tyler is saying how "you are not a unique snowflake you are the same organic material as everyone else" cant remember his exact words.

yeah thats a good one.

maybe if you actually have the deceny to find the real quote we will pay attention to you.

ouch. sting. please don't pay attention to the mock man. he's just jealous. furthermore, he claims to be located in canada. i mean, seeing as he's admitted that, you've got plenty of reasons to hate him.

joshie babee, i like that quote myself very much also.

me, i like sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken. (and for my canadian doughnut hole that's from the book, owl books, 1997, pg 69 and the goddamned film).

If my name were FPS King

I would be completed.

Best quote:

"You have to be prepared for the possibility that God does not like you..."

[QUOTE=MockyMockins]maybe if you actually have the deceny to find the real quote we will pay attention to you.[/QUOTE]

i dont think i like you much anymore. youre mean. so maybe if you had the DECENY to lay the fuck off and be a help instead of a hinderance, you wouldnt be considered such a fuckrod (at least in my book)

fave quote to follow.

edit:

"It's a bridesmaid's dress. Someone loved it intensely for one day, then tossed it. Like a Christmas tree -- so special, then, bam -- it's abandoned on the side of the road, tinsel still clinging to it. Like sex crime victims, underwear inside-out, bound with electrical tape." -Marla
