More quotes by Cormac McCarthy
Listen to me, he said, when your dreams are of some world that never was or some world that never will be, and you're happy again, then you'll have given up. Do you understand? And you can't give up, I won't let you.
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
Hell ain't half full.
Cormac McCarthy
You have my whole heart. You always did.
Cormac McCarthy
When the shooting starts would you rather be armed or legal?
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
The night sky lies so sprent with stars that there is scarcely space of black at all and they fall all night in bitter arcs and it is so that their numbers are no less.
Cormac McCarthy
Usually, you don't know where a book comes from ... it's just there, some kind of an itch that you can't quite scratch.
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
They say death comes like a thief in the night, where is he? I'll hug his neck.
Cormac McCarthy
The world was new each day for God so made it daily. Yet it contained within it all the evils as before, no more, no less.
Cormac McCarthy
When the lies are all told and forgot the truth will be their yet.
Cormac McCarthy
What business is it of yours where I'm from, friendo?
Cormac McCarthy
Anything that doesn't take years of your life and drive you to suicide hardly seems worth doing.
Cormac McCarthy
You go back home and everything you wished was different is still the same and everything you wished was the same is different.
Cormac McCarthy
He poured the tumbler full. Drink up, he said. The world goes on. We have dancing nightly and this night is no exception. The straight and the winding way are one and now that you are here what do the years count since last we two met together? Men's memories are uncertain and the past that was differs little from the past that was not.
Cormac McCarthy
War is the ultimate game because war is at last a forcing of the unity of existence. War is god.
Cormac McCarthy
He didn't say a lot so I tend to remember what he did say. And I don't remember that he had a lot of patience with havin to say things twice so I learned to listen the first time.
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
He thought that in the beauty of the world were hid a secret. He thought that the world’s heart beat at some terrible cost and that the world’s pain and its beauty moved in a relationship of diverging equity and that in this headlong deficit the blood of multitudes might ultimately be exacted for the vision of a single flower.
