More quotes by Cormac McCarthy
There is no God and we are his prophets.
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
Pain for the old was no longer a surprise.
Cormac McCarthy
Word gets around when the circus comes to town, don't it?
Cormac McCarthy
If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?
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
Hell ain't half full.
Cormac McCarthy
He sat a long time and he thought about his life and how little of it he could ever have foreseen and he wondered for all his will and all his intent how much of it was his doing.
Cormac McCarthy
When I came into your life your life was over. It had a beginning, a middle, and an end. This is the end. You can say that things could have turned out differently. That they could have been some other way. But what does that mean? They are not some other way. They are this way.
Cormac McCarthy
Then they set out along the blacktop in the gunmetal light, shuffling through the ash, each the other's world entire.
Cormac McCarthy
What you alter in the remembering has yet a reality, known or not.
Cormac McCarthy
Your heart's desire is to be told some mystery. The mystery is that there is no mystery.
Cormac McCarthy
Do you have any notion of how goddamned crazy you are?
Cormac McCarthy
The night sky lies so sprent with stars that there is scarcely space of black at all and they fall all night in bitter arcs and it is so that their numbers are no less.
Cormac McCarthy
The closest bonds we will ever know are bonds of grief. The deepest community one of sorrow.
Cormac McCarthy
But I didn't know what to say to him. What do you say to a man that by his own admission has no soul? Why would you say anything?
Cormac McCarthy
He poured the tumbler full. Drink up, he said. The world goes on. We have dancing nightly and this night is no exception. The straight and the winding way are one and now that you are here what do the years count since last we two met together? Men's memories are uncertain and the past that was differs little from the past that was not.
Cormac McCarthy
She was gone and the coldness of it was her final gift.
Cormac McCarthy
The world is quite ruthless in selecting between the dream and the reality, even where we will not.
Cormac McCarthy
It was always himself that the coward abandoned first. After this all other betrayals came easily.
Cormac McCarthy
