“I felt early on I wasn't going to be a respectable citizen.” — Cormac McCarthy Quote

“I felt early on I wasn't going to be a respectable citizen.”

“The frailty of everything revealed at last. Old and troubling issues resolved into nothingness and night. The last instance of a thing takes the class with it. Turns out the light and is gone. Look around you. Ever is a long time. But the boy knew what he knew. That ever is no time at all.”

“Then he just knelt in the ashes. He raised his face to the paling day. Are you there? he whispered. Will I see you at the last? Have you a neck by which to throttle you? Have you a heart? Damn you eternally have you a soul? Oh God, he whispered, Oh God.”

“I think we should all be proud that we are living in a country where we can question those we put in power because, at the end of the day, they work for every citizen.”

“I am here, a citizen of this country, and I'm saying, 'Hey, the system failed me. I am a good citizen. I contribute to this country, and here I am sharing my story. What are you going to do now?'”

“My mother was born in Wilmington, Delaware. She's a U.S. citizen, so I'm a U.S. citizen.”
