What he could bear in the waking world he could not by night and he sat awake for fear the dream would return. Cormac McCarthy
All night sheetlightning quaked sourceless to the west beyond the midnight thunderheads, making a bluish day of the distant desert, the mountains on the sudden skyline stark and black and livid like a land of some other order out there whose true geology was not stone but fear. Cormac McCarthy
Cormac McCarthy quote: "Nights dark beyond darkness and the days more gray each one..."
Nights dark beyond darkness and the days more gray each one than what had gone before. Cormac McCarthy
