This country will kill you in a heartbeat and still people love it. Cormac McCarthy
I yearn for the darkness. I pray for death. Real death. If I thought that in death I would meet the people I've known in life I don't know what I'd do. That would be the ultimate horror. The ultimate despair. If I had to meet my mother again and start all of that all over, only this time without the prospect of death to look forward to? Well. That would be the final nightmare. Kafka on wheels. Cormac McCarthy

I didn't want to do or be nothin that... Cormac McCarthy

You don't know what's goin to happen. I'd say He's just about go to. I don't believe we'd make it a day otherwise. Cormac McCarthy
It takes very little to govern good people. Very little. And bad people cant be governed at all. Or if they could I never heard of it. Cormac McCarthy
People complain about the bad things that happen to em that they don't deserve but they seldom mention the good. About what they done to deserve them things Cormac McCarthy
If people saw the world for what it truly is. Saw their lives for what they truly are. Without dreams or illusions. I don't believe they could offer the first reason why they should not elect to die as soon as possible. Cormac McCarthy

And maybe no better. There is no government in Mexico. Hell, there's no God in Mexico. Never will be. We are dealing with a people manifestly incapable of governing themselves. And do you know what happens with people who cannot govern themselves? That's right. Others come in to govern for them. Cormac McCarthy
