Death Quote by Cormac McCarthy — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

The truth is rather that if there were no God then there could be no witness for there could be no identity to the world but only each man's opinion of it.

“It's natural to die," he said again. "The fact that we make such a big hullabaloo over it is all because we don't see ourselves as part of nature. We think because we're human we're something above nature.”

“But remember that good intentions pave many roads. Not all of them lead to hell.”

“Since we live in the heads of those who remember us, we lose control of our lives and become who they want us to be.”
