Cormac McCarthy
“Men of God and men of war have strange affinities.”
Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian, or, the Evening Redness in the West

Cormac McCarthy
“Ive seen the meanness of humans till I dont know why God aint put out the sun and gone away.”
Cormac McCarthy, Outer Dark

Rainer Maria Rilke
“Who speaks of victory? To endure is all.”
Rainer Maria Rilke

Henry Miller
“On the meridian of time there is no injustice: there is only the poetry of motion creating the illusion of truth and drama. If at any moment anywhere one comes face to face with the absolute, that great sympathy which makes men like Gautama and Jesus seem divine freezes away; the monstrous thing is not that men have created roses out of this dung heap, but that, for some reason or other, they should want roses. For some reason or other man looks for the miracle, and to accomplish it he will wade through blood. He will debauch himself with ideas, he will reduce himself to a shadow if for only one second of his life he can close his eyes to the hideousness of reality. Everything is endured―disgrace, humiliation, poverty, war, crime, ennui―in the belief that overnight something will occur, a miracle, which will render life tolerable.”
Henry Miller, Tropic of Cancer

Jorge Luis Borges
“To speak is to fall into tautology.”
Jorge Luis Borges
