You always pay too much. Particularly for promises. There aint no such thing as a bargain promise (Cormac McCarthy Quotes)
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 Quotes)
He rocked in the swells, floating like the first germ of life adrift on the earth’s cooling seas, formless macule of plasm trapped in a vapor drop and all creation yet to come (Cormac McCarthy Quotes)
Things happen to you they happen. They don’t ask first. They don’t require your permission (Cormac McCarthy Quotes)
This place aint the same. It never will be. Maybe we’ve all got a little crazy. I guess if everbody went crazy together nobody would notice, what do you think? (Cormac McCarthy Quotes)
He said that whether a man’s life was writ in a book someplace or whether it took its form day by day was one and the same for it had but one reality and that was the living of it (Cormac McCarthy Quotes)
All progressions from a higher to a lower order are marked by ruins and mystery and a residue of nameless rage (Cormac McCarthy Quotes)
What is it? Nothing. I had a bad dream. What did you dream about? Nothing. Are you okay? No. He put his arms around him and held him. It’s okay, he said. I was crying. But you didn’t wake up. I’m sorry. I was just so tired. I meant in the dream (Cormac McCarthy Quotes)
You either stick or you quit. And I wouldnt quit you I don’t care what you done (Cormac McCarthy Quotes)
What man is such a coward he would not rather fall once than remain forever tottering? (Cormac McCarthy Quotes)
The hardest lesson in the world: Maybe it’s just that when things are gone they’re gone. They aint comin back (Cormac McCarthy Quotes)
It was always himself that the coward abandoned first. After this all other betrayals came easily (Cormac McCarthy Quotes)
Remember her hair in the morning before it was pinned, black, rampant, savage with loveliness. As if she slept in perpetual storm (Cormac McCarthy Quotes)
In the spring or warmer weather when the snow thaws in the woods the tracks of winter reappear on slender pedestals and the snow reveals in palimpsest old buried wanderings, struggles, scenes of death. Tales of winter brought to light again like time turned back upon itself (Cormac McCarthy Quotes)
The judge placed his hands on the ground. He looked at his inquisitor. This is my claim, he said. And yet everywhere upon it are pockets of autonomous life. Autonomous. In order for it to be mine nothing must be permitted to occur upon it save by my dispensation (Cormac McCarthy Quotes)
It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge. War endures. As well ask men what they think of stone. War was always here. Before man was, war waited for him. The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner. That is the way it was and will be. That way and not some other way (Cormac McCarthy Quotes)
The notion that the species can be improved in some way, that everyone could live in harmony, is a really dangerous idea. Those who are afflicted with this notion are the first ones to give up their souls, their freedom. Your desire that it be that way will enslave you and make your life vacuous (Cormac McCarthy Quotes)
Every moment in your life is a turning and every one a choosing. Somewhere you made a choice. All followed to this. The accounting is scrupulous. The shape is drawn. No line can be erased. I had no belief in your ability to move a coin to your bidding. How could you? A person’s path through the world seldom changes and even more seldom will it change abruptly. And the shape of your path was visible from the beginning (Cormac McCarthy Quotes)
So everything is necessary. Every least thing. This is the hard lesson. Nothing can be dispensed with. Nothing despised. Because the seams are hid from us, you see. The joinery. The way in which the world is made. We have no way to know what could be taken away. What omitted. We have no way to tell what might stand and what might fall (Cormac McCarthy Quotes)
Years later he’d stood in the charred ruins of a library where blackened books lay in pools of water. Shelves tipped over. Some rage at the lies arranged in their thousands row on row. He picked up one of the books and thumbed through the heavy bloated pages. He’d not have thought the value of the smallest thing predicated on a world to come. It surprised him. That the space which these things occupied was itself an expectation (Cormac McCarthy Quotes)
The frailty of everything revealed at last. Old and troubling issues resolved into nothingness and night. The last instance of a thing takes the class with it. Turns out the light and is gone. Look around you. Ever is a long time. But the boy knew what he knew. That ever is no time at all (Cormac McCarthy Quotes)
He said that men believe the blood of the slain to be of no consequence but that the wolf knows better. He said that the wolf is a being of great order and that it knows what men do not: that there is no order in this world save that which death has put there (Cormac McCarthy Quotes)
In his dream she was sick and he cared for her. The dream bore the look of sacrifice but he thought differently. He did not take care of her and she died alone somewhere in the dark and there is no other dream nor other waking world and there is no other tale to tell (Cormac McCarthy Quotes)
There was a sharp crack from somewhere on the mountain. Then another. It’s just a tree falling, he said. It’s okay. The boy was looking at the dead roadside trees. It’s okay, the man said. All the trees in the world are going to fall sooner or later. But not on us (Cormac McCarthy Quotes)
