All stories are about wolves. All worth repeating, that is. Anything else is sentimental drivel. All of them? Sure, he says. Think about it. There's escaping from the wolves, fighting the wolves, capturing the wolves, taming the wolves. Being thrown to the wolves, or throwing others to the wolves so the wolves will eat them instead of you. Running with the wolf pack. Turning into a wolf. Best of all, turning into the head wolf. No other decent stories exist. Margaret Atwood
About This Quote

This quote is a cool read and can be a life lesson for people who don't have a positive attitude. The public widely knows about the famous writer Chuck Palahniuk, but few know that he is also a successful screenwriter. This quote is from his short story, ‘In the Woods’, which was featured in his book, Fight Club. In the story, he talks about how people who always complain about bad things in life are always looking for the negative side of everything and believe that all stories are about wolves. If we ever find ourselves in a situation that we feel we can’t handle or face then we need to remember that there are other stories out there just like the one we’re living and there are other ways to deal with our problems and try to get through it all.
