They say death comes like a thief in the night, where is he? I'll hug his neck.
Cormac McCarthy
I've always been interested in the Southwest. There isn't a place in the world you can go where they don't know about cowboys and Indians and the myth of the West.
Cormac McCarthy
I can normally tell how intelligent a man is by how stupid he thinks I am.
Cormac McCarthy
The trouble with a liar is he can't remember what he said.

The passing of armies and the passing of sands in the desert are one.
Cormac McCarthy
So everything is necessary. Every least thing. This is the hard lesson. Nothing can be dispensed with. Nothing despised. Because the seams are hid from us, you see. The joinery. The way in which the world is made. We have no way to know what could be taken away. What omitted. We have no way to tell what might stand and what might fall.
Cormac McCarthy

Cormac McCarthy
The freedom of birds is an insult to me.
Cormac McCarthy

Cormac McCarthy
The martyr who longs for the flames can be no right candidate for them.
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
If one were to be a person of value that value could not be a condition subject to hazards of fortune. It had to be a quality that could not change. No matter what.
Cormac McCarthy
Then they set out along the blacktop in the gunmetal light, shuffling through the ash, each the other's world entire.
Cormac McCarthy
How would you know if you were the last man on Earth? He said. I don't guess you would know it. You'd just be it. Nobody would know it. It wouldn't make any difference. When you die it's the same as if everybody else died too.
Cormac McCarthy
The point is there ain't no point.
Cormac McCarthy
... a man leaves much when he leaves his own country.
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
We think we are the victims of time. In reality, the way of the world isn't fixed anywhere. How could that be possible? We are our own journey. And therefore we are time as well. We are the same. Fugitive. Inscrutable. Ruthless.
Cormac McCarthy
The world to come must be composed of what is past. No other material is at hand.
Cormac McCarthy
