Chuck Palahniuk - Damned

I thought this book was just okay and not great, but there were still a few lines in it I really liked.

---

If you can watch much television, then being dead will be a cinch. Actually, watching television and surfing the Internet are really excellent practice for being dead.

What makes earth feel like Hell is our expectation that it should feel like Heaven.

It's my experience that girls tend to be terrifically smart until they grow breasts.

Critics and movie reviewers really, really count on there being no actual Hell.

No one sleeps in Hell except as a possible defensive posture in retaliation during yet another punitive presentation of The English Patient.

My parents meant well, but the road to Hell is paved with publicity stunts.

According to Babette, 98.3 percent of lawyers end up in Hell. That's in contrast to the 23 percent of farmers who are eternally damned.

His deprived infancy is how come, when my parents rented out a Six Flags amusement park for his birthday, and trotted out a purebred Shetland pony as his gift, Goran assumed the animal was lunch.

I ask Emily what it's like to have AIDS.
Even over the phone, her eye roll is audible. "It's like being Canadian," she says, "You get used to it."
