A dream inside a dream might not be a dream.
Cormac McCarthy
Scared money can’t win and a worried man can’t love.
Cormac McCarthy
I was afraid I was goin to die and then I was afraid I wasnt.
Cormac McCarthy
You give up the world line by line. Stoically. And then one day you realize that your courage is farcical. It doesn't mean anything. You've become an accomplice in your own annihilation and there is nothing you can do about it. Everything you do closes a door somewhere ahead of you. And finally there is only one door left.
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

Cormac McCarthy
For even if you should have stood your ground, he said, yet what ground was it?

Cormac McCarthy
Things happen to you they happen. They dont ask first. They dont require your permission.
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
Anything that doesn't take years of your life and drive you to suicide hardly seems worth doing.
Cormac McCarthy
Words pale and lose their savor while pain is always new.
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
At one time in the world there were woods that no one owned

There is no God and we are his prophets.
