More From Georg C. Lichtenberg

The day is cold, and dark, and dreary; it rains, and the wind is never weary; the vine still clings to the mouldering wall, but at every gust the dead leaves fall, and the day is dark and dreary. my life is cold, and dark, and dreary; it rains, and the wind is never weary; my thoughts still cling to the mouldering past, but the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast, and the days are dark and dreary. be still, sad heart! and cease repining; behind the clouds is the sun still shining; thy fate is the common fate of all, into each life some rain must fall, some days must be dark and dreary.

He's like a drug for you, bella." his voice was still gentle, not at all critical. "i see that you can't live without him now. it's too late. but i would have been healthier for you. not a drug; i would have been the air, the sun." the corner of my mouth turned up in a wistful half-smile. "i used to think of you that way, you know. like the sun. my personal sun. you balanced out the clouds nicely for me." he sighed. "the clouds i can handle. but i can't fight with an eclipse.

There is a social contract in "fight club" and in "choke" where the protagonist has deceived a whole bunch of people. in "choke" it's all of these people who think that they've saved his life, and really care about him because they've embraced him and they've been his saviors. in "fight club" it's all of these people who are dying of various diseases, and they thought that edward norton was also dying so they allowed him really strong pent-up emotions.
