Cormac McCarthy
“That god lives in silence who has scoured the following land with salt and ash.”
Cormac McCarthy, No Country for Old Men

Thomas Gray
“Full many a flower is born to blush unseen,
And waste its sweetness on the desert air.”
Thomas Gray, An Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard

Chelsea Hodson
“Suffering feels religious if you do it right.”
Chelsea Hodson, Tonight I'm Someone Else: Essays

“The work of the mature person is to carry grief in one hand and gratitude in the other and to be stretched large by them. How much sorrow can I hold? That’s how much gratitude I can give. If I carry only grief, I’ll bend toward cynicism and despair. If I have only gratitude, I’ll become saccharine and won’t develop much compassion for other people’s suffering. Grief keeps the heart fluid and soft, which helps make compassion possible.”
Francis Weller

Cormac McCarthy
“They were saddened that [Rawlins] was not coming back but they said that a man leaves much when he leaves his own country. They said that it was no accident of circumstance that a man be born in a certain country and not some other and they said that the weathers and seasons that form a land form also the inner fortunes of men in their generations and are passed on to their children and are not so easily come by otherwise.”
Cormac McCarthy, All the Pretty Horses
