Cormac McCarthy Forever Quotations

He'd half meant to speak but those eyes had altered the world forever in the space of a heartbeat.

Looking over the country with those sunken eyes as if the world out there had been altered or made suspect by what he'd seen of it elsewhere. As if he might never see it right again. Or worse did see it right at last. See it as it had always been, would forever be.

Ever step you take is forever.

Doomed enterprises divide lives forever into the then and now

What man is such a coward he would not rather fall once than remain forever tottering?

Just remember that the things you put into your head are there forever, he said. You might want to think about that. You forget some things, dont you? Yes. You forget what you want to remember and you remember what you want to forget.

It's not about knowing who you are. It's about thinkin you got there without takin anything with you. Your notions about startin over. or anybody's. You dont start over. That's what it's about. Every step you take is forever. You can't make it go away. None of it.

Ever step you take is forever. You cant make it go away. None of it. You understand what I'm sayin?
