I am the child of a lunatic. Not a child of God.

Chuck Palahniuk
About This Quote

This is a common sentiment in the modern age, when people have a hard time understanding how two people could be related by blood and yet not be related by God. The lunatic in this quotation is not God but my mother, who was mentally unstable and unable to care for me. A child of God, on the other hand, is one who has been loved and cared for by God.
