Tyler Durden Quote In High School Hallway

Coming next week: a Magic Marker scrawl over the whole thing - "I wanted to destroy something beautiful."

Isn't that the movie quote not the book quote? I could be wrong.

And?

I was just curious. They are talking about the book being taught though, not the movie.

Before I graduated, I talked my Psychology teacher into letting us watch Fight Club in Class... She wouldn't let us read the book though cause she hadn't read it yet. Still, I was very proud of myself. Hopefully she continues to do this with her future students.

Maybe next year they'll teach 'em punctuation.

Usually schools put up inspirational phrases and posters that deal with education or the curriculum. Unless they're teaching Fight Club, I don't see how this fits. And, on that note, if they are teaching it, how does this quote inspire a student to become successful?

@DB, the word "own" can be understood as more than just possession of material items.

Think along the lines of "owning up" to something... or owning an identity, mood, idea, theory et cetera.

I don't think schools should just put up inspirational quotes. That's boring and lame and no one ever learns anything from them.

But a quote like this, might get some kid to pause for a second or two to ponder what it means. Which is something they probably don't often do in a school setting.

They should put some more quotes up. Like from Yoda or Samuel L. Jackson from Pulp Fiction.

If they did Sam Jackson from Pulp Fiction then it'd be a quote of a quote (of a quote of a quote). INCEPTION!

Like - "Bitch, Be cool!"

I think:

"English, motherfucker, do you speak it?"

would be appropriate.

Perfect. Absolutely fucking perfect.

Hahah.
