Cormac McCarthy
I got what I needed instead of what I wanted and that's just about the best kind of luck you can have.
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
There is no greater monster than reason.
Cormac McCarthy
If you think about some of the things that are being talked about by thoughtful, intelligent scientists, you realize that in 100 years the human race won't even be recognizable.
