How everything you ever love will reject you or die. Everything you ever create will be thrown away. Everything you're proud of will end up as trash. - Chuck Palahniuk

"If you don't know what you want," the doorman said, "you end up with a lot you don't."

There are worse things than finding your wife and child dead. You can watch the world do it. You can watch your wife get old and bored. You can watch your kids discover everything in the world you've tried to save them from. Drugs, divorce, conformity, disease. All the nice clean books, music, television. Distraction. These people with dead children, you want to tell them, go ahead. Blame yourself. There are worse things you can do to the people you love than kill them. The regular way is just to watch the world do it. Just read the newspaper.

Don't do what you want. Do what you don't want. Do what you're trained not to want. Do the things that scare you the most.
