More quotes by Cormac McCarthy
In history there are no control groups. There is no one to tell us what might have been. We weep over the might have been, but there is no might have been. There never was.
Cormac McCarthy
Where men can't live gods fare no better.
Cormac McCarthy
Scared money can’t win and a worried man can’t love.
Cormac McCarthy
On this road there are no godspoke men. They are gone and I am left and they have taken with them the world.
Cormac McCarthy
What man is such a coward he would not rather fall once than remain forever tottering?
Cormac McCarthy
There is no such joy in the tavern as upon the road thereto.
Cormac McCarthy
By day the banished sun circles the earth like a grieving mother with a lamp.
Cormac McCarthy
People apparently only read mystery stories of any length. With mysteries, the longer the better, and people will read any damn thing. But the indulgent, 800-page books that were written a hundred years ago are just not going to be written anymore, and people need to get used to that.
Cormac McCarthy
There is no later. This is later.
Cormac McCarthy
To have a child when you're older, it wrenches you up out of your nap and makes you look at things, you know, afresh. It forces the world on you. And I think it's a good thing.
Cormac McCarthy
The world is quite ruthless in selecting between the dream and the reality, even where we will not.
Cormac McCarthy
It is not my experience that life’s difficulties make people more charitable.
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
I guess if everybody went crazy together nobody would notice.
Cormac McCarthy
The things that I loved were very frail. Very fragile. I didn't know that. I thought they were indestructible. They weren't.
Cormac McCarthy
The man watched him. Real life is pretty bad? What do you think? Well, I think we're still here. A lot of bad things have happened but we're still here. Yeah. You don't think that's so great. It's okay.
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
How would you know if you were the last man on Earth? He said. I don't guess you would know it. You'd just be it. Nobody would know it. It wouldn't make any difference. When you die it's the same as if everybody else died too.
Cormac McCarthy
If people knew the story of their lives, how many would then elect to live them?
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
