More quotes by Cormac McCarthy
How surely are the dead beyond death. Death is what the living carry with them. A state of dread, like some uncanny foretaste of a bitter memory. But the dead do not remember and nothingness is not a curse. Far from it.
Cormac McCarthy
in dreams it is often the case that the greatest extravagances seem bereft of their power to astonish and the most improbable chimeras seem commonplace.
Cormac McCarthy
In his dream she was sick and he cared for her. The dream bore the look of sacrifice but he thought differently. He did not take care of her and she died alone somewhere in the dark and there is no other dream nor other waking world and there is no other tale to tell.
Cormac McCarthy
It is not my experience that life’s difficulties make people more charitable.
Cormac McCarthy
It takes very little to govern good people. Very little. And bad people cant be governed at all. Or if they could I never heard of it.
Cormac McCarthy
When one has nothing left make ceremonies out of the air and breathe upon them.
Cormac McCarthy
If people knew the story of their lives how many would then elect to live them? People speak about what is in store. But there is nothing in store. The day is made of what has come before. The world itself must be surprised at the shape of that which appears. Perhaps even God.
Cormac McCarthy
Yet it is the narrative that is the life of the dream while the events themselves are often interchangeable. The events of the waking world on the other hand are forced upon us and the narrative is the unguessed axis along which they must be strung.
Cormac McCarthy
My daddy used to tell me not to chew on somethin that was eatin you.
Cormac McCarthy
If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?
Cormac McCarthy
War is the ultimate game because war is at last a forcing of the unity of existence. War is god.
Cormac McCarthy
The world could only be known as it existed in men's hearts. For while it seemed a place which contained men it was in reality a place contained within them.
Cormac McCarthy
Things happen to you they happen. They dont ask first. They dont require your permission.
Cormac McCarthy
This country was filled with violent children orphaned by war.
Cormac McCarthy
They say death comes like a thief in the night, where is he? I'll hug his neck.
Cormac McCarthy
It was always himself that the coward abandoned first. After this all other betrayals came easily.
Cormac McCarthy
Long before morning I knew that what I was seeking to discover was a thing I'd always known. That all courage was a form of constancy. That it is always himself that the coward abandoned first. After this all other betrayals come easily.
Cormac McCarthy
What business is it of yours where I'm from, friendo?
Cormac McCarthy
If people knew the story of their lives, how many would then elect to live them?
Cormac McCarthy
A dream inside a dream might not be a dream.
Cormac McCarthy
