Cormac McCarthy Quotes

Like things whose very portent renders them ambiguous. Like things so charged with meaning that their forms are dimmed.

Cormac McCarthy

We came to realise - first with astonishment, then bitterness, and finally with indifference - that intellect apparently wasn't the most important thing...not ideas, but the system; not freedom, but drill. We had joined up with enthusiasm and with good will; but they did everything to knock that out of us. Erich Maria Remarque

My task which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the written word, to make you hear, to make you feel? it is, before all, to make you see. That? and no more, and it is everything.

Joseph Conrad
