― Cormac McCarthy, All the Pretty Horses

“And Satan sighed and shook his head, played harp amongst the flames. ‘It’s Hell up there in Heaven too, for all that that is worth. Heaven is just a lie of mine to make it Hell on Earth.”
― Nick Cave, And the Ass Saw the Angel

“Scars have the strange power to remind us that our past is real. The events that cause them can never be forgotten, can they?”
― Cormac McCarthy, All the Pretty Horses

“Once you get over the simple unpleasantness of it - I suspect most people would gag, the first time - it is easier to wipe somebody else's bum than it is your own, because you can see what you're doing and use both hands at once if necessary. The whole process is much more efficient and uses no more toilet paper than is strictly required, so it's better for the environment, too. If we were really green we'd all have somebody else wipe our bums, though I can't see it catching on.”
― Iain Banks, The Quarry
