More quotes by Cormac McCarthy
When the lies are all told and forgot the truth will be their yet.
Cormac McCarthy
The blackness he woke to on those nights was sightless and impenetrable. A blackness to hurt your ears with listening. Often he had to get up. No sound but the wind in the trees. He rose and stood tottering in that cold autistic dark with his arms outheld for balance while the vestibular calculations in his skull cranked out their reckonings.
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
If there's one thing on this planet you don't look like it's a bunch of good luck walkin around.
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
Acts have their being in the witness. Without him who can speak of it? In the end one could even say that the act is nothing, the witness all.
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
You have my whole heart. You always did.
Cormac McCarthy
The wrath of God lies sleeping. It was hid a million years before men were and only men have the power to wake it.
Cormac McCarthy
Men believe death's elections to be a thing inscrutable yet every act invites the act which follows and to the extent that men put one foot before the other they are accomplices in their own deaths as in all such facts of destiny.
Cormac McCarthy
War is the ultimate game because war is at last a forcing of the unity of existence. War is god.
Cormac McCarthy
I dont know what I ever done, she said. I truly dont. Chigurh nodded. Probably you do, he said. There's a reason for everything. She shook her head. How many times I've said them very words. I wont again.
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
Creedless shells of men tottering down the causeways like migrants in a feverland.
Cormac McCarthy
It is supposed to true that those who do not know history are condemned to repeat it. I don't believe knowing can save us. What is constant in history is greed and foolishness and love of blood.
Cormac McCarthy
For things at a common destination there is a common path. Not always easy to see. But there.
Cormac McCarthy
There is no forgiveness. For women. A man may lose his honor and regain it again. But a woman cannot. She cannot.
Cormac McCarthy
Where men can't live gods fare no better.
Cormac McCarthy
What you alter in the remembering has yet a reality, known or not.
Cormac McCarthy
But I didn't know what to say to him. What do you say to a man that by his own admission has no soul? Why would you say anything?
Cormac McCarthy
