Survivor (Palahniuk novel)

"The truth is you can be orphaned again and again and again. The truth is you will be. And the secret is, this will hurt less and less each time until you cant feel a thing."

"Only God has the right to surprise his children with death."

"You realize that theres no point in doing anything if nobodys watching."

"You can tell people the truth, but theyll never believe you until the event. Until its too late. In the meantime, the truth will just piss them off and get you in a lot of trouble."

"This is fish number six hundred and forty-one in a lifetime of a goldfish. My parents bought me the first one to teach me about loving and caring for another living breathing creature of God. Six hundred and forty fish later, the only thing I know is everything you love will die. The first time you meet that someone special, you can count on them one day being dead and in the ground."

"I just want some proof that death isnt the end. Even if crazed zombies grabbed me in some dark hall one night, even if they tore me apart, at least that wouldnt be the absolute end. There would be some comfort in that."
