More quotes by Cormac McCarthy
There is no later. This is later.
Cormac McCarthy
What he loved in horses was what he loved in men, the blood and the heat of the blood that ran them. All his reverence and all his fondness and all the leanings of his life were for the ardenhearted and they would always be so and never be otherwise. (All the Pretty Horses)
Cormac McCarthy
It looks a lot better from up here than it does down there, dont it? Yes. It does. There's a lot of things look better at a distance. Yeah? I think so. I guess there are. The life you've lived, for one. Yeah. Maybe what of it you aint lived yet, too.
Cormac McCarthy
When one has nothing left make ceremonies out of the air and breathe upon them.
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 truth may often be carried about by those who themselves remain all unaware of it. They bear that which has weight and substance and yet for them has no name whereby it may be evoked or called forth. They go about ignorant of the true nature of their condition, such are the wiles of truth and such its stratagems.
Cormac McCarthy
Life is a memory, and then it is nothing.
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
This country will kill you in a heartbeat and still people love it.
Cormac McCarthy
Pain for the old was no longer a surprise.
Cormac McCarthy
The things that I loved were very frail. Very fragile. I didn't know that. I thought they were indestructible. They weren't.
Cormac McCarthy
If people knew the story of their lives how many would then elect to live them? People speak about what is in store. But there is nothing in store. The day is made of what has come before. The world itself must be surprised at the shape of that which appears. Perhaps even God.
Cormac McCarthy
She was gone and the coldness of it was her final gift.
Cormac McCarthy
You keep runnin that mouth and I'm goin to take you back there and screw you.
Cormac McCarthy
I felt early on I wasn't going to be a respectable citizen.
Cormac McCarthy
The voice of the Almighty speaks most profoundly in such things as lives in silence themselves.
Cormac McCarthy
Looking over the country with those sunken eyes as if the world out there had been altered or made suspect by what he'd seen of it elsewhere. As if he might never see it right again. Or worse did see it right at last. See it as it had always been, would forever be.
Cormac McCarthy
Where men can't live gods fare no better.
Cormac McCarthy
There is no such joy in the tavern as upon the road thereto.
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
