只有在失去一切之后，你才能获得做任何事情的自由。

你不是你的职业，你不是你的银行帐户里有多少钱。你不是你开的车，你不是你钱包里的信用卡。你也不是你穿的那套他妈的衣服。你是这个世界又唱又跳的垃圾。You are not your job, you're not how much money you have in the bank. You are not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You are not your fucking khakis. You are all singing, all dancing crap of the world。

— 恰克・帕拉纽克 《Chuck Palahniuk， Fight Club》

广告驱使我们去追逐汽车和衣服。做我们厌恶的工作赚了钱后去买我们根本不需要的狗屎。Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes. working jobs we hate, so we can buy shit we dont need.

— 恰克・帕拉纽克 《Chuck Palahniuk， Fight Club》

几代人都恨他们自己的工作，所以他们才会有钱去买他们根本就不需要的东西。Generations have been working in jobs they hate, just so they can buy what they don't really need.
