“This is your life, and it’s ending one minute at a time. If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? I see all this potential, and I see squandering. 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 sht 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’s 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. Man, I see in Fight Club the strongest and smartest men who’ve ever lived. 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 sht 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. You’re polishing brass on the Titanic. It’s all going down, man. So fuck off with your sofa units and Strinne green stripe patterns.” - Tyler Durden
