Even
a month after I saw Fight Club first, I could hear Tyler in my head
throwing sardonic quotes at me. I still hear him sometimes when I am a
part of the consumerism frenzy.
Here are some of his best ones:
"You're 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 fucking khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world."
“The things you own end up owning you.”
“We’re consumers. We are bi-products of a lifestyle obsession. Murder, crime, poverty, these things don’t concern me. What concerns me are celebrity magazines, television with 500 channels, some guy’s name on my underwear.”
“I see all this potential, and I see squandering. 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’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.”
