[...] that’s what is expected of us. After watching the movie and listening to Tyler’s quotable teachings, it’s actually difficult to view him as a villain. A lot of what he says drives home, and [...]

Hi! My name is Tone, and I am a filmstudent at University of Southampton. I am currently writing my dissertation on ‘Fight Club’ and I was wondering if I could get permission to use your blog as part of my research? I am having a closer look at the reception of the film. Your name will not be used at all in the dissertation, I will be referring to my subjects by using character A,B,C etc. Your blog will be useful for me in analyzing the reception of the film, and I would really appreciate it.

Kind Regards,
Tone

I’d like to add.
“Losing all hope was freedom.”
Realize that life has no inherent purpose or goal, that you need no merit for your own existence. You are free to do anything you wish. So fuck society’s message that your life’s purpose is to gain more and more useless material possessions to make yourself complete and realize that you don’t need to be and never can be.

And in the car: “Quit trying to control everything and JUST LET GO!”

In the book it kind of has a different literal meaning, but Tyler is using it to reinforce his message that not everything can or needs to be controlled.

Hey, nice list, but here’s what I’d add (although it’s already mentioned)

Car-scene:
You can’t control everything

Where Tyler puts that acid on Ed’s hand (and creates a scar):
stay with the pain -> be present, although it might be fu*ked up, “enjoy it”
