More quotes by 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

Cormac McCarthy
Scared money can’t win and a worried man can’t love.
Cormac McCarthy

Cormac McCarthy

Cormac McCarthy
The frailty of everything revealed at last. Old and troubling issues resolved into nothingness and night. The last instance of a thing takes the class with it. Turns out the light and is gone. Look around you. Ever is a long time. But the boy knew what he knew. That ever is no time at all.
Cormac McCarthy
She was gone and the coldness of it was her final gift.
Cormac McCarthy
The rain falls upon the just And also on the unjust fellas But mostly it falls upon the just Cause the unjust have the just's umbrellas
Cormac McCarthy
There is no greater monster than reason.
Cormac McCarthy
They say death comes like a thief in the night, where is he? I'll hug his neck.
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
Ever step you take is forever.
Cormac McCarthy
He knew only that his child was his warrant. He said: If he is not the word of God God never spoke.
Cormac McCarthy
I think if you were Satan and you were settin around tryin to think up somethin that would just bring the human race to its knees what you would probably come up with is narcotics.
Cormac McCarthy
Your heart's desire is to be told some mystery. The mystery is that there is no mystery.
Cormac McCarthy
