About this Quote

In this quote, Chuck Palahniuk is highlighting the irony of humanity. He recommends that individuals often take for granted the women they have been with, not providing much thought or factor to consider. Nevertheless, it is the women who have left or "gotten away" that tend to stay in our minds and hearts, unable to be forgotten. This might be due to the truth that we tend to romanticize and idealize what we can not have, making it more desirable and memorable. Palahniuk's words act as a suggestion to value and treasure the people in our lives, instead of only understanding their worth once they are gone.
