Description If you wake up at a different time,
in a different place,
could you wake up as a different person?

Our fathers were our models for God.
If our fathers bailed,
what does that tell you about God?

You have to consider the possibility
that God does not like you.
He never wanted you.
In all probability, he hates you.

Fuck damnation, Fuck redemption!
We are God's unwanted children? So be it!

First you have to give up,
first you have to know... not fear...
know... that someday you're going to die.

It's only after you've lost everything
that you're free to do anything.
Without pain, without sacrifice,
we would have nothing.

You're not your job.
You're not how much money you have in the bank.
You're not the car you drive.
You're not the contents of your wallet.
You're not your fucking khakis.
You're the all-singing,
all-dancing crap of the world.

God damn it,
an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables;
slaves with white collars.
Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes,
working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need.

We're the middle children of history.
No purpose or place.
We have no Great War.
No Great Depression.

Our Great War's a spiritual war...
our Great Depression is our lives.
We've all been raised on television to believe
that one day we'd 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.

We're consumers.
We are by-products of a lifestyle obsession.
Murder, crime, poverty, these things don't concern me.
What concerns me are celebrity magazines,
television with 500 channels,
some guy's name on my underwear.
Rogaine, Viagra, Olestra.

It's all going down.
So, Fuck off with your sofa units
and strine green stripe patterns,
I say never be complete,
I say stop being perfect,
I say let... lets evolve,
let the chips fall where they may.

Hitting bottom isn't a weekend retreat.
It's not a goddamn seminar.
You have to stop trying to control everything
and reject the basic assumptions of civilization,
especially the importance of materiel possessions.

You are not special.
You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake.
You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else.
We are all part of the same compost heap.

I want you to do me a favor,
I want you to hit me as hard as you can…
If this is your first night at Fight Club, you have to fight.

This is ... pointless. They're all good quotes, and it's a great movie, but you might as well just tell people to watch the movie.

It's just copy and paste.

TheSlyder In reply to Onifaux [2008-11-07 17:57:41 +0000 UTC]

Agreed. I don't understand the point of compiling Durden's propaganda into a "poem" and then publishing it on DA.

Deviant Art is intended to be a place for people to upload their own artwork. Not Chuck Palahniuk's.

Thank you.

Oh! Read the book. It's so good! There are a few things that are different in the book, but in my opinion, it's better than the movie.

xXx-Lemon-xXx [2008-03-05 18:27:18 +0000 UTC]

This is all the philosophies of the movie, and very well put. It's a shame some people don't see it as anything more than a gut-wrenchingly violent excuse to show men fighting. It's so much more than that, and I can never convince anybody. I'm about halfway through the book and I can't put it down.

ShadowMax76 [2008-02-22 11:59:48 +0000 UTC]

x3 philosophically speaking,
Tyler has a nihilistic way of life. xX or is it existential..? bleh. they're related so. yeah..

great movie.

Is that legal?

Nicely done, though... Just interested...

I heared once that if more tha 60% of something you write is quotes, even if fully refered to and everything, then it's plagerism. So yeah, just wondering...
