Famous Quotes & Sayings

Chuck Palahniuk

People didn't know who I was or why I was there, so they started inventing stories about me. I was a registered sex offender and I'd just been released from prison and was being forced to do community-service work.

Oh, I've discarded a great many [poems]. And occasionally I've discarded and then resurrected.
