Cormac McCarthy
When the shooting starts would you rather be armed or legal?
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

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
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
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
There is no such joy in the tavern as upon the road thereto.
Cormac McCarthy
He thought that in the history of the world it might even be that there was more punishment than crime but he took small comfort from it.
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
