More quotes by Cormac McCarthy
The point is there ain't no point.
Cormac McCarthy
Yet it is the narrative that is the life of the dream while the events themselves are often interchangeable. The events of the waking world on the other hand are forced upon us and the narrative is the unguessed axis along which they must be strung.
Cormac McCarthy
Do you know what happens with people who cannot govern themselves? That's right. Others come in to govern for them.
Cormac McCarthy
The world is quite ruthless in selecting between the dream and the reality, even where we will not.
Cormac McCarthy
You think when you wake up in the mornin yesterday don't count. But yesterday is all that does count. What else is there? Your life is made out of the days it’s made out of. Nothin else.
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
There is for a man two things in life that are very important, head and shoulders above everything else. Find work you like, and find someone to live with you like. Very few people get both.
Cormac McCarthy
You have my whole heart. You always did.
Cormac McCarthy
The jagged mountains were pure blue in the dawn and everywhere birds twittered and the sun when it rose caught the moon in the west so that they lay opposed to each other across the earth, the sun whitehot and the moon a pale replica, as if they were the ends of a common bore beyond whose terminals burned worlds past all reckoning.
Cormac McCarthy
Keep a little fire burning however small, however hidden.
Cormac McCarthy
Any time you're throwin dirt you're losin ground.
Cormac McCarthy
No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes.
Cormac McCarthy
At one time in the world there were woods that no one owned
Cormac McCarthy
It is supposed to true that those who do not know history are condemned to repeat it. I don't believe knowing can save us. What is constant in history is greed and foolishness and love of blood.
Cormac McCarthy
Fear of an enemy can often blind men to other hazards, not least the shape which they themselves make in the world.
Cormac McCarthy
I can normally tell how intelligent a man is by how stupid he thinks I am.
Cormac McCarthy
Acts have their being in the witness. Without him who can speak of it? In the end one could even say that the act is nothing, the witness all.
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
A dream inside a dream might not be a dream.
Cormac McCarthy
Do you think that your fathers are watching? That they weigh you in their ledgerbook? Against what? There is no book and your fathers are dead in the ground.
Cormac McCarthy
