Men do not turn from God so easily. Not so easily. Deep in each man is the knowledge that something knows of his existence. Something knows, and cannot e fled nor hid from. To imagine otherwise is to imagine the unspeakable. It was never that this man ceased to believe in God. No. It was rather that he came to believe terrible things of him.
— Cormac McCarthy
Goodness will find the little boy. It always has. It will again.
— Cormac McCarthy
Even a nonbeliever might find it useful to model himself after God. Very useful, in fact.
— Cormac McCarthy
