Fight Club - Movie

This one released in 1999, but I got the opportunity to watch it only recently on DVD. Its a 'different' movie to say the least. I liked these quotes from it:

The things you own, they end up owning you.
On a long enough time line, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.
This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time.
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. We are the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world.

Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken.
We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives.
You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else, and we are all apart of the same compost heap.

We're consumers. We are by-products of a lifestyle obsession.
Stop trying to control everything and just let go.
