Herman Melville
“And had you watched Ahab’s face that night, you would have thought that in him also two different things were warring. While his one live leg made lively echoes along the deck, every stroke of his dead limb sounded like a coffin-tap. On life and death this old man walked.”
Herman Melville, Moby Dick

Gabriel García Márquez
“No medicine cures what happiness cannot.”
Gabriel García Márquez

Cormac McCarthy
“How surely are the dead beyond death. Death is what the living carry with them. A state of dread, like some uncanny foretaste of a bitter memory. But the dead do not remember and nothingness is not a curse. Far from it.”
Cormac McCarthy, Suttree

Cormac McCarthy
“Hard weather, says the old man. So let it be. Wrap me in the weathers of the earth, I will be hard and hard. My face will wash rain like the stones.”
Cormac McCarthy, Suttree

Cormac McCarthy
“There is no such joy in the tavern as upon the road thereto.”
Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian, or the Evening Redness in the West
