Chuck-palahniuk Quote by Chuck Palahniuk

“There’s that fallen heart feeling that you rushed right through the moments where you should’ve been paying attention. Well, get used to that feeling. That’s how your whole life will feel some day. This is all practice. None of this matters. We’re just warming up.” quote by Chuck Palahniuk
