Carl Ingebretsen

“Here is a story. The last of all men who stands alone in the universe while it darkens about him. Who sorrows all things with a single sorrow. Out of the pitiable and exhausted remnants of what was once his soul he’ll find nothing from which to craft the least thing godlike to guide him in these last of days.”
― Cormac McCarthy, The Passenger

“Men find it easier to believe they have been swindled by a witch than outwitted by a woman” (115).”
― Shannon Chakraborty

“The abyss of the past into which the world is falling. Everything vanishing as if it had never been. We would hardly wish to know ourselves again as we once were and yet we mourn the days.”
― Cormac McCarthy, The Passenger

“After all, we build our homes upon the ruins of lost cities and sail our ships over the drowned palaces of forgotten kings.”
― Shannon Chakraborty, The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi
