Michael Chabon
“This paradox, like a brutal syllogism, leads McCarthy, almost one sense in spite of himself, to conclude The Road on a note of possible redemption that while moving and reassuring is prepared for neither by one;'s reading of his prior work nor, perhaps, by the novel itself. In order to destroy the world, it becomes necessary to save it.”
Michael Chabon, The Road

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“No damn cat. No damn cradle.”
