Fight Club Rules Quotes

#1. The door to my boss's office is always closed now, and we haven't traded more than two words any day since he found the fight club rules in the copy machine and I maybe implied I might gut him with a shotgun blast. Just me clowning around, again. #Quote by Chuck Palahniuk

#2. When I first started writing, there was no way I'd write a sex scene. That just seemed impossible. That's why in "Fight Club" all the sex happens off-screen. It's all just a noise on the other side of the wall or the ceiling. I just couldn't bring to write in a scene like that. So one of the challenges with "Choke" was I wanted to write sex scenes until I was really comfortable just writing them in a very mechanical way. #Quote by Chuck Palahniuk

#3. If you're male, and you're Christian and living in America, your father is your model for God. And sometimes you find your father in your career. #Quote by Chuck Palahniuk

#4. Hang on – what are you wearing?" Keefe asked as she threw back her covers, revealing the sparkly slogans on her tunic. "Is that a Bangs Boy reference? Because you know I haven't let him into the Foster Fan Club, right?"

Sophie rolled her eyes. "It's an inside joke – and Linh made this for me."

"Yeah, well, it still breaks the fan club rules. As penance, I'm giving you a tunic that says, 'Empaths Give Me All the Feels," and I expect to see you wear it twice as much as Bang Boys. #Quote by Shannon Messenger

#5. Fighting is the last option but can't rule it out as an option #Quote by Jitendra Attra

#6. You have to consider the possibility that God does not like you. #Quote by Brad Pitt

#7. I thought 'Fight Club' was great as David Fincher's version. #Quote by Chuck Palahniuk

#8. You're the last line of defense. When you're dead, Hitler will march through Leningrad the way he marched through Paris. Do you remember that?'
'That's not fair. The French didn't fight,' Tatiana said, wanting to be anywhere right now but standing in front of men loading artwork from the Hermitage onto armored trucks.
'They didn't fight, Tania, but you will fight. For every street and for every building. And when you lose
'
'The art will be saved.'
'Yes! The art will be saved,' Alexander said emotionally. 'And another artist will paint a glorious picture, immortalizing you, with a club in your raised hand, swinging to hit the German tank as it's about to crush you, all against the backdrop of the statue of Peter the Great atop his bronze horse. And that picture will hang in the Hermitage, and at the start of the next war the curator will once again stand on the street, crying over his vanishing crates. #Quote by Paullina Simons

#9. There you are," he murmured. "The girl I met in that club. As far as my heart goes, you have it, sweetheart. God's going to have to fight you for it. #Quote by Joey W. Hill

#10. I'm always looking for context in which people tell stories. In "Fight Club" it's these support groups for dying people, and then in "Choke" it's 12-step recovery groups. In one novel it's artists' colonies, in another novel it's a diary form that submariners' wives typically keep so that when their husband comes back from serving on a submarine they have an accounting of their spouse's time. So I'm always looking for, number one, a non-fiction context - because you can tell a more outrageous story if you use a non-fiction form. #Quote by Chuck Palahniuk

#11. A friend was someone you talked to in school, joined a club with, or who went to your church. A stupid fight in a basement could end a normal friendship. But a best friend was someone you could trust with your life, someone who you knew would be there for you. Being best friends was a promise to work through things no matter what. #Quote by Michael Barakiva

#12. You're probably good at taking lip, aren't you?" I mutter more to myself than to my bodyguard, clawing through the suitcase for a T-shirt that isn't tight on me. "Like a CIA operative, right? Do bodyguards go to bodyguard school? Are you like the hitman in Hitman?"

He adjusts his cuffs. "You know the rule about fight club?"

I give him a surprised look. "So you can talk!"

He raises a single eyebrow. "I will be right outside your door if you need me. You have to be down at the lot in twenty minutes. I suggest you hurry." Then he takes his burly frame and saunters out of the room.

I shove my head into a clean shirt and pull my arms through just as my phone blips.

There's a message. Well, two messages.

- HIS NAME IS LONNY. BE NICE.

"Lonny?" That name definitely is not fit for a three-hundred-pound machine of total annihilation, but okay #Quote by Ashley Poston

#13. I tagged a first-timer one night at fight club. That Saturday night, a young guy with an angel's face came to his first fight club, and I tagged him for a fight. That's the rule. If it's your first night in fight club, you have to fight. I knew that so I tagged him because the insomnia was on again, and I was in a mood to destroy something beautiful. #Quote by Chuck Palahniuk

#14. "You're a sex icon." Why? Because I played a vampire in a movie? It's all very unearned. If I had the best freaking abs in the world or if I looked like Brad Pitt does in Fight Club, then cool, but I'm not starving myself. #Quote by Kellan Lutz

#15. Only after disaster can we be resurrected. It's only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything. Nothing is static, everything is evolving, everything is falling apart. #Quote by Chuck Palahniuk

#16. I want you to do me a favor. I want you to hit me as hard as you can."
I looked around and said, okay. Okay, I say, but outside in the parking lot.
So we went outside, and I asked if Tyler wanted it in the face or in the stomach.
Tyler said, "Surprise me."
I said I had never hit anybody.
Tyle said, "So go crazy, man."
I said, close your eye.
Tyler said, "No."
Like every guy on his first night at fight club, I breathed in and swung my fist in a roundhouse at Tyler's jaw like in every cowboy movie we'd ever seen, and me, my fist connected with the side of Tyler's neck. #Quote by Chuck Palahniuk

#17. 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. #Quote by Chuck Palahniuk

#18. I guess my most prized pop culture possession is a signed first edition of the book 'Fight Club' by Chuck Palahniuk. #Quote by Jen Lancaster

#19. Only through destroying myself can I discover the greater power of my spirit. #Quote by Chuck Palahniuk

#20. Oh, they're there all right," Orr had assured him about the flies in Appleby's eyes after Yossarian's fist fight in the officers' club, "although he probably doesn't even know it. That's why he can't see things as they really are."

"How come he doesn't know it?" inquired Yossarian.

"Because he's got flies in his eyes," Orr explained with exaggerated patience. "How can he see he's got flies in his eyes if he's got flies in his eyes? #Quote by Joseph Heller

#21. I know this because Tyler knows this. #Quote by Chuck Palahniuk

#22. One of Spenser's rules of detection is: Never poke around on an empty stomach. So I unpacked, got my gun, and went down for a club sandwich and #Quote by Robert B. Parker

#24. They've been talking about Pi, which I haven't seen, they've been comparing it to Usual Suspects, Sixth Sense, and Fight Club, and I didn't see that either. #Quote by Joe Pantoliano

#25. He'd put the nail in his own coffin.

Rider and the Souls treated loyalty as sacred.

If there was no loyalty among the members, then Rider didn't want that man around.

By doing the only thing he thought right at the time, he'd fucked himself into losing what meant most to him and being banished back to a life he hated living.

No one would understand why he did what he did.

To the Souls, the rules were black and white.

It was club first.

Always the club came first, no matter what.

Hindsight was a bitch because he did regret every decision he'd made. #Quote by V. Theia

#26. Fight Club is a thrill ride masquerading as philosophy - the kind of ride where some people puke and others can't wait to get on again. #Quote by Roger Ebert

#27. Tyler and me at the edge of the roof, the gun in my mouth, I'm wondering how clean this gun is. #Quote by Chuck Palahniuk

#28. And the seventh rule is if this is your first night at fight club, you have to fight. #Quote by Chuck Palahniuk

#29. As my future crumbled before my eyes, I grasped for the rope. My entire life's struggle was ending here, in plain view of my enemies. How was it possible? Had had I let things come to this? #Quote by Tony McMahon

"Fight Club... #Quote by S.L.J. Shortt

#31. I like the dueling club scene, where Daniel and I fight with our wands. I thought it was a brilliant scene to shoot. I think the end product looked really good. #Quote by Tom Felton

#32. So the British, of all ages, still walk the course. On trips to Florida or the American desert, they still marvel, or shudder, at the fleets of electric carts going off in the morning like the first assault wave at the Battle of El Alamein. It is unlikely, for some time, that a Briton will come across in his native land such a scorecard as Henry Longhurst rescued from a California club and cherished till the day he died. The last on its list of local rules printed the firm warning "A Player on Foot Has No Standing on the Course." #Quote by Alistair Cooke

#33. The sixth rule of Fight Club: No shirt, no shoes. #Quote by Chuck Palahniuk

#34. People like rumors. They're going to say things like, 'You was at the club with Lil' Kim, and you and Kanye West got into a fist fight.' You can't get upset. You've got to keep hope alive. #Quote by Bernie Mac

#35. Love and life belongs to great risk. #Quote by Chuck Palahniuk

#36. You become very angry and depressed that you keep getting offered only these exceedingly demure and repressed roles. They're so not me. That's why films like Fight Club were so important to me because I think I confounded certain stereotypes and limited perceptions of what I could do as an actress. #Quote by Helena Bonham Carter

#37. I got kicked out of a club for sticking up for my sister. And I got into a fight that was basically hair pulling and rolling around on the gym floor. The fights make me sound like a hell-raiser, but I'm not proud of them. #Quote by Nadine Velazquez

#38. My views in my early 20's and kept me separate from those around me. Those views were all about making myself feel significant by bringing other people down. I thought having special problems made me special. Problems don't make people special. Solving them does.
My views created an Us-vs-Them perspective of the world. Solving my problem required finding more Us people and to avoid Them. I wanted a special club of Us people. The problem was that all the Us people I found thought that their problems were more unique than the other Us people. We never bonded. We were still separating ourselves by one-upping each other about the uniqueness of our problems.
The upside to Us-Vs-Them is that we feel special being Us. Unfortunately feeling special doesn't outweigh the significant downside.
There will always be more Them than Us
There has to be. Otherwise, the exclusively club of Us wouldn't be exclusive. So to maintain the exclusivity, we make more rules in our head to keep others out. We become more dependent on less people and are devastated when those people don't reciprocate by valuing our friendship with the same mindfulness.
Finding more people to connect with seems beyond our control because we automatically put everyone in the Them column and wait for people to work their way into the Us column. The problem is no one wants to have to prove themselves in order to become friends. We end up waiting and waiting. #Quote by Corin

#39. In 'Se7en' and 'Fight Club,' Fincher proved his suave mastery of film violence; in Zodiac, his way of clarifying the many clues in a murder thriller. As he showed in 'The Social Network,' the director also knows that no wound is more toxic than a friend's betrayal. #Quote by Richard Corliss

#40. If we wish for our country to have an exponentially brighter future, one of the things we need to change is the popular perception some kids have towards school. School is not a prison, it is not a night club, it is not a fight club; school is for learning, learning is the thing that begins the process of separating us from the animals. #Quote by Joshua Neik

#41. Dean Holder? Messy brown hair? Smoldering blue eyes? A temper straight out of Fight Club? #Quote by Colleen Hoover

#42. He was probably stud duck at the Rotary Club cookouts. I could have taken him while whistling the Michigan fight song and balancing a seal on my nose. #Quote by Robert B. Parker

#43. Welcome," Vassily said, and smiled. He showed teeth. "To Immortal Battles. We don't fight to the death
we fight beyond death, in the world's most dangerous sport. #Quote by Rachel Caine

#44. If you could be either God's worst enemy or nothing, which would you choose? #Quote by Chuck Palahniuk

#45. IF we desire European civilization to be a raid and a rescue, we shall insist rather that souls are in real peril than that their peril is ultimately unreal. And if we wish to exalt the outcast and the crucified, we shall rather wish to think that a veritable God was crucified, rather than a mere sage or hero. Above all, if we wish to protect the poor we shall be in favour of fixed rules and clear dogmas. The rules of a club are occasionally in favour of the poor member. The drift of a club is always in favour of the rich one. #Quote by G.K. Chesterton

#46. Fight club exists only in the hours between when fight club starts and when fight club ends. #Quote by Chuck Palahniuk

#47. And finally, and most importantly, the next time we go to war, don't give a specific reason for the war that the left can seize upon and later flog us with it ad nauseam, just do it. Remember, the first rule of Fight Club is that you don't talk about Fight Club. #Quote by Dennis Miller
