Cormac McCarthy Quotes

The one thing I can tell you is that you wont survive for yourself. I know because I would never have come this far. A person who had no one would be well advised to cobble together some passable ghost. Breathe it into being and coax it along with words of love. Offer it each phantom crumb and shield it from harm with your body. As for me my only hope is for eternal nothingness and I hope it with all my heart.

Cormac McCarthy

The remedy is to gain security in ourselves and therefore have respect and feelings for all oppressed people. Huey Newton

He is alert and sensitive, he is experienced, his soul has been burned... Knut Hamsun
