More quotes by Cormac McCarthy
And the dreams so rich in color. How else would death call you? Waking in the cold dawn it all turned to ash instantly. Like certain ancient frescoes entombed for centuries suddenly exposed to the day.
Cormac McCarthy
You have my whole heart. You always did.
Cormac McCarthy
Looking over the country with those sunken eyes as if the world out there had been altered or made suspect by what he'd seen of it elsewhere. As if he might never see it right again. Or worse did see it right at last. See it as it had always been, would forever be.
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
I'd rather to make a good run as a bad stand.
Cormac McCarthy
The trouble with a liar is he can't remember what he said.
Cormac McCarthy
What he loved in horses was what he loved in men, the blood and the heat of the blood that ran them. All his reverence and all his fondness and all the leanings of his life were for the ardenhearted and they would always be so and never be otherwise. (All the Pretty Horses)
Cormac McCarthy
She was gone and the coldness of it was her final gift.
Cormac McCarthy
Creedless shells of men tottering down the causeways like migrants in a feverland.
Cormac McCarthy
No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes.
Cormac McCarthy
Men say they only learn this but he said that no creature can learn that which his heart has no shape to hold.
Cormac McCarthy
I guess if everybody went crazy together nobody would notice.
Cormac McCarthy
Life is a memory, and then it is nothing.
Cormac McCarthy
What you alter in the remembering has yet a reality, known or not.
Cormac McCarthy
The point is there ain't no point.
Cormac McCarthy
By day the banished sun circles the earth like a grieving mother with a lamp.
Cormac McCarthy
I always thought when I got older that God would sort of come into my life in some way. He didn't. I don't blame him. If I was him I'd have the same opinion about me that he does.
Cormac McCarthy
Where men can't live gods fare no better.
Cormac McCarthy
All the time you spend tryin to get back what's been took from you there's more goin out the door. After a while you just try and get a tourniquet on it.
Cormac McCarthy
The closest bonds we will ever know are bonds of grief. The deepest community one of sorrow.
Cormac McCarthy
