Quote by Chuck Palahniuk

You know how both life and porno movies end. The only difference is life starts with the orgasm.

You know how both life and porno movies end. The only differ

Summary

This quote humorously compares life to pornography by highlighting a key difference: in pornography, the climax, or orgasm, is typically at the end, while in life, it is just the beginning. It suggests that while a pornographic film immediately dives into the intense and pleasurable moments, life gradually builds up to those moments, symbolized by the orgasm. The quote may also imply that in life, pleasure and fulfillment are not instantaneous, but rather the result of a journey and experiences that unfold over time.

Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.
