Cormac McCarthy
Even the damned in hell have the community of their suffering.
Cormac McCarthy
The martyr who longs for the flames can be no right candidate for them.
Cormac McCarthy
The world to come must be composed of what is past. No other material is at hand.
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
There is no God and we are his prophets.
Cormac McCarthy
