Fight Club quotes are something that fans of the legendary 90’s movie revere and repeat to this day
Fight Club was an epic back in 1999 and has enjoyed a cult-like following ever since. Classic quotes from the movie have become iconic in themselves.
The storyline is dark and twisted, and appealed to just about anyone who found themselves working in corporate America back in the day.
Many fans of the film felt they could relate to the trials and tribulations of the main character in the plot, who would do just about anything to break the monotony of his boring career.
What many people don’t know is that the Fight Club film was actually based on a 1996 novel written by Chuck Palahniuk
But even though the book enjoyed some success it didn’t captivate the literally millions of people that the movie did.
Indeed, the story of the traveling automobile employee who couldn’t sleep at night, but was refused medication by his doctor who advised him to attend a support group, is a gripping one.
After convincing the other members of the support group that he too had testicular cancer, the star finds a different kind of emotional release – which leads him to the “Fight Club.”
We are sure you are familiar with the storyline, as most lovers of Fight Club don’t settle for watching the movie just once – more like 20 times minimum at least!
Here is Lifedaily‘s list of the 12 most epic Fight Club quotes which we hope will make you feel nostalgic:
If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person?
You wake up at SeaTac, SFO, LAX. You wake up at O’Hare, Dallas-Fort Worth, BWI. Pacific, mountain, central. Lose an hour, gain an hour. This is your life, and it’s ending one minute at a time.
When you have insomnia, you’re never really asleep… and you’re never really awake. With insomnia, nothing’s real. Everything’s far away. Everything’s a copy of a copy of a copy.
Fight club wasn’t about winning or losing. It wasn’t about words. The hysterical shouting was in tongues, like at a Pentecostal Church.
The first rule of Fight Club is: You do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is: You do not talk about Fight Club. Third rule of Fight Club: Someone yells stop, goes limp, taps out, the fight is over. Fourth rule: only two guys to a fight. Fifth rule: one fight at a time, fellas. Sixth rule: no shirts, no shoes. Seventh rule: Fights will go on as long as they have to. And the eighth and final rule: If this is your first night at Fight Club, you have to fight.
Our fathers were our models for God, if our fathers bailed, what does that tell you about God?
Man, I see in Fight Club the strongest and smartest men who’ve ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see it squandered. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables – slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don’t need. We’re the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives. We’ve all been raised on television to believe that one day we’d all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars, but we won’t. And we’re slowly learning that fact. And we’re very, very pissed off.
Without pain, without sacrifice, we would have nothing.
It’s only after we’ve lost everything that we’re free to do anything.
You are not your job. You’re not how much money you have in the bank. You’re not the car you drive. You’re not the contents of your wallet. You’re not your f@**ing khakis. You’re the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world.
The things you own end up owning you.
You have to consider the possibility that God does not like you, never wanted you, in all probability he hates you. It’s not the worst thing that could happen.
