More quotes by Cormac McCarthy
What man is such a coward he would not rather fall once than remain forever tottering?
Cormac McCarthy
You always pay too much. Particularly for promises. There aint no such thing as a bargain promise.
Cormac McCarthy
The point is there ain't no point.
Cormac McCarthy
Do you know what happens with people who cannot govern themselves? That's right. Others come in to govern for them.
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 always told me to just do the best you knew how and tell the truth. He said there was nothin to set a man’s mind at ease like wakin up in the morning and not havin to decide who you were. And if you done somethin wrong just stand up and say you done it and say you’re sorry and get on with it. Don’t haul stuff around with you.
Cormac McCarthy
If only my heart were stone.
Cormac McCarthy
Word gets around when the circus comes to town, don't it?

Cormac McCarthy
Men have in their minds a picture of how the world will be. How they will be in that world. The world may be many different ways for them but there is one world that will never be and that is the world they dream of.
Cormac McCarthy
Hell ain't half full.
Cormac McCarthy
For things at a common destination there is a common path. Not always easy to see. But there.
Cormac McCarthy
Things happen to you they happen. They dont ask first. They dont require your permission.
Cormac McCarthy
I think by the time you're grown you're as happy as you're goin to be. You'll have good times and bad times, but in the end you'll be about as happy as you was before. Or as unhappy. I've knowed people that just never did get the hang of it.
Cormac McCarthy
Your god must once have stood at a dawn of infinite possibilities, and this is what he's made of it. You tell me that I want God's love? I don't. Perhaps I want forgiveness, but there's no-one to ask it of. And there's no going back, there's no setting things right, there's only the hope of nothingness.
Cormac McCarthy
By day the banished sun circles the earth like a grieving mother with a lamp.
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
I don't think goodness is something that you learn. If you're left adrift in the world to learn goodness from it, you would be in trouble.
Cormac McCarthy
