Chuck Palahniuk is one of my favourite authors. He writes provocative, compelling books that completely just suck you into his world. One of his books, Invisible Monsters, holds a special place in my excuse for a heart. The central character, an attention starved ex model at one point declares..."If I can't be beautiful, I want to be invisible."

And for some reason, this quote has always stuck out at me. It's such a blunt, daring decision.

Also, from his most famous book of all, Fight Club, every single thing that damn Tyler Durden says is amazing.

"It's only after you've lost everything," Tyler says, "that you're free to do anything."
