 THIS IS YOUR LIFE, AND IT'S ENDING ONE MINUTE AT A TIME.

This was freedom. Losing all hope was freedom. ~ Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club, Chapter 2
This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time. ~ Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club, Chapter 3

You buy furniture. You tell yourself, this is the last sofa I will ever need in my life. Buy the sofa, then for a couple years you're satisfied that no matter what goes wrong, at least you've got your sofa issue handled. Then the right set of dishes. Then the perfect bed. The drapes. The rug. Then you're trapped in your lovely nest, and the things you used to own, now they own you. ~ Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club, Chapter 5

The gyms you go to are crowded with guys trying to look like men, as if being a man means looking the way a sculptor or an art director says. ~ Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club, Chapter 6
"It's only after you've lost everything," Tyler says, "that you're free to do anything." ~ Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club, Chapter 8

You're not how much money you've got in the bank. You're not your job. You're not your family, and you're not who you tell yourself.... You're not your name.... You're not your problems.... You're not your age.... You are not your hopes. ~ Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club, Chapter 18

The things you own end up owning you. It's only after you lose everything that you're free to do anything. ~ Fight Club movie, screenplay by Jim Uhls, directed by David Fincher, novel by Chuck Palahniuk

Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. ~ Fight Club movie, screenplay by Jim Uhls, directed by David Fincher, novel by Chuck Palahniuk

Fight Club opened my eyes to a lot of things and without a doubt is the trigger for this whole project. The way the character of Tyler speaks of life is true about how everyone see's their life, without even realising it. He not only tells us the problem, he tells us the solution. He basically tells the audience to open their eyes and see the truth, not what they've been taught to believe is the truth. Fight club changed how I think and I would like to attempt to do the same thing to others.
