This seemed as good a spot as any to put any inspirational quotes I find, or comments that people have made that should be highlighted for others to see.

Some gems from the anti-consumerism vibe in the film Fight Club:

• “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.”
• “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.”
