Chuck Palahniuk Quotes

You Digest And Absorb Your Life By Turning It Into Stories,' He Says, 'the Same Way This Theater Seems To Digest People.' With One Hand, He Points To A Carpet Stain, This Dark Stain Sticky And Growing Mold, Branched With Arms And Legs.
Other Events - The Ones You Can't Digest - They Poison You. Those Worst Parts Of Your Life, Those Moments You Can't Talk About, They Rot You From The Inside Out. Until You're Cassandra's Wet Shadow On The Ground. Sunk In Your Own Yellow Protein Mud.
But The Stories That You Can Digest, That You Can Tell - You Can Take Control Of Those Past Moments. You Can Shape Them, Craft Them. Master Them. And Use Them To Your Own Good. Those Are Stories As Important As Food. Those Are Stories You Can Use To Make People Laugh Or Cry Or Sick. Or Scared. To Make People Feel The Way You Felt. To Help Exhaust That Past Moment For Them And For You. Until That Moment Is Dead.
Consumed. Digested. Absorbed.
