— I got this dress at a thrift store for one dollar. — It was worth every penny. — 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 on the side of the road with tinsel still clinging to it. Like a sex crime victim, underwear inside out, bound with electrical tape. Fight Club Marla Singer Jack (the Narrator) things consumer society Sarcastic Quotes Similar Quote: Fight Club - Chuck Palahniuk
The mass media, the culture, everything laying its eggs under my skin. Big Brother filling me with need. Do I really want a big house, a fast car, a thousand beautiful sex partners? Do I really want these things? Or am I trained to want them? Chuck Palahniuk Lullaby mass media consumer society propaganda life quotes
You turn up your music to hide the noise. Other people turn up their music to hide yours. You turn up yours again. Everyone buys a bigger stereo system. This is the arms race of sound. You don't win with a lot of treble. This isn't about quality. It's about volume. This isn't about music. This is about winning. You stomp the competition with the bass line. You rattle windows. You drop the melody line and shout the lyrics. You put in foul language and come down hard on each cussword. You dominate. This is really about power. Chuck Palahniuk Lullaby power, authority victory and winners music sounds life quotes
