"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 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'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."

my favorite quote of the whole movie, perhaps.
and true.
"our Great Depression is our lives"
I am striving for that NOT to be my reality.
And, I hope that I can in some small way inspire someone else. . . because this should not be...!
my favorite quote is still, "Hitting bottom isn't a weekend retreat. It's not a damn seminar. Stop trying to control everything and just let go. Let go!" I love that one the most, but yeah...this one is definitely up there :)
