Quote #5
TYLER: I don't want to die without any scars.
Tyler doesn't believe that people should be living their "safe" little lives. He thinks that safety keeps people from experiencing the highest highs and the lowest lows that life can offer. Why avoid anything in this great buffet of life, even if it hurts?
Quote #6
NARRATOR: After fighting, everything else in your life got the volume turned down. You could deal with anything.
Like we said, fighting gives people one of the highest highs. The pain. The thrill of victory and companionship. All other aspects of life being dull by comparison. As a result, fight club becomes an addiction.
