I was watching Criminal Minds last night and they used one of chucks quotes from diary to open up the show.

"We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.” - Chuck Palahnuik

Thought it was neat.. my favorite author used in my favorite show Smile

I didn't catch the quote, but that is pretty cool!

did they attribute that quote to him? that really doesn't sound like a quote as much as it sounds like a general turn of a phrase. kinda like "Don't judge a book by the cover."

No, that's really a quote by him. I've read it online before accredited to him. Although, I didn't see the episode because that's not a very good show.

Thanks so much, I'm sure everyone was dying to know the answer to that.

i watched an episode of criminal minds a while back. its kinda like a grittier version of the profiler. episodes seem to usually involve women being kidnapped, raped, or in some form of bondage, from what i can tell.

...and then dismembered.

You can't forget the dismembering.

The shows generally open and close with one of the characters doing a voiceover quote from someone philosophical or literary.

ah, yes. the obligatory limb severing.

i much preferred 'cold case' if we have to go into made up crime shows that arent law and order.
