Quote #7

TYLER: I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see it squandered.

This is what Tyler is upset the most about life. He believes that men aren't being allowed to live up to their full potential, and that the only way to live up to potential is through primal strength.

Quote #8

TYLER: Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy s*** we don't need.

One thing Tyler is very unhappy with is capitalism. He's tired of being a pawn in a machine that turns people into commodities, that churns them up and spits them out.

Quote #9

TYLER: We have no great war. No great depression. Our great war's a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives.

Tyler's solution to this problem is to start a war: one against society itself, not another country.
