The document discusses themes from the novel Fight Club. It contains quotes from unnamed characters discussing how Fight Club provided an outlet for frustration with modern consumerism and corporate culture. The characters feel their generation was misled to believe they could all be rich and famous but instead are stuck in meaningless jobs. One character threatens violence to protect an underground group.

1. “Hi. You're going to call off your rigorous investigation. You're going to publicly state that there is no underground group. Or... these guys are going to take your
balls. They're going to send one to the New York Times, one to the LA Times press-release style. Look, the people you are after are the people you depend
on. We cook your meals, we haul your trash, we connect your calls, we drive your ambulances. We guard you while you sleep. Do not... fuck with us.”

2. “Fight Club wasn’t about winning or losing, it wasn’t about words”.
“When the fight was over nothing was solved, but nothing mattered; afterwards we all felt saved”

3. “I see in Fight Club the strongest and smartest men who have ever lived—an entire generation pumping gas and waiting tables; or they’re slaves with white
collars…Advertisements have them chasing cars and clothes, working jobs they hate so they can buy shit they don’t need. We are the middle children of history, with
no purpose or place. We have no Great War, or great depression. The great war is a spiritual war. The great depression is our lives. We were raised by television to
believe that we’d be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars—but we won’t. And we’re learning that fact. And we’re very, very pissed off.”

4. “You are notyour job,you're not howmuch moneyyouhave inthe bank.You are not the car you drive.You're notthe contents of your wallet.Youare not yourfuckingkhakis.You
are all singing,all dancingcrap of the world”

5. “We had itall plannedout;to destroya piece of corporate art and a franchise coffee bar”
