More quotes by 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
The point is there ain't no point.
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
Ah me, thou Destiny, Giver of evil gifts.
Cormac McCarthy
All progressions from a higher to a lower order are marked by ruins and mystery and a residue of nameless rage.
Cormac McCarthy
Because the question for me was always whether that shape we see in our lives was there from the beginning or whether these random events are only called a pattern after the fact. Because otherwise we are nothing.
Cormac McCarthy
It was always himself that the coward abandoned first. After this all other betrayals came easily.
Cormac McCarthy
For even if you should have stood your ground, he said, yet what ground was it?
Cormac McCarthy
Your heart's desire is to be told some mystery. The mystery is that there is no mystery.
Cormac McCarthy
They spoke less and less between them until at last they were silent altogether as is often the way with travelers approaching the end of a journey.
Cormac McCarthy
When the shooting starts would you rather be armed or legal?
Cormac McCarthy
I'd rather to make a good run as a bad stand.
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
If there's one thing on this planet you don't look like it's a bunch of good luck walkin around.
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
To have a child when you're older, it wrenches you up out of your nap and makes you look at things, you know, afresh. It forces the world on you. And I think it's a good thing.
Cormac McCarthy
People apparently only read mystery stories of any length. With mysteries, the longer the better, and people will read any damn thing. But the indulgent, 800-page books that were written a hundred years ago are just not going to be written anymore, and people need to get used to that.
Cormac McCarthy
She was gone and the coldness of it was her final gift.
Cormac McCarthy
The closest bonds we will ever know are bonds of grief. The deepest community one of sorrow.
Cormac McCarthy
I guess if everybody went crazy together nobody would notice.
Cormac McCarthy
