More From Cormac McCarthy

If you spend your own money on yourself, you care how much you spend and how well you spend it. if you spend your own money on someone else, you care how much you spend, but you don't care how well it is spent. if you spend someone else's money on yourself, you don't care how much you spend, but you do care how well it is spent. and finally, if you spend someone else's money on someone else, you don't care how much you spend, and you don't care how well it is spent. that is government.

Without a doubt, one of the things which keeps us from attaining perfection is our tongue. when one has reached the point of no longer committing faults in speech, he has surely reached perfection, as was said by the holy spirit. the worst defect in talking is talking too much. hence, in speech be brief and virtuous, brief and gentle, brief and simple, brief and charitable, brief and amiable.

I can spend somebody else's money on somebody else. and if i spend somebody else's money on somebody else, i'm not concerned about how much it is, and i'm not concerned about what i get. and that's government. and that's close to 40 percent of our national income.

Nobody wants somebody who wants them for what they have or the position their in- you want somebody who wants you for you. in case it all goes crazy and it all turns to dust. i want somebody who loves me in the welfare line, eating gumbo, eating fish,black eyed peas and rice. i want somebody that loves me. god wants you to love him, not his cars, not his house, not his blessing- love him.
Crazy Blessing Dust
I'm able to lead my life as well as make a film. my wife and my friends and people around me know that i do tend to distance myself a little bit during the making of a film, but i have to, it's a natural part of the process for me because you are indulging in the headspace of somebody else, you are investing in the psychology of somebody else and you are becoming somebody else, and so there isn't enough room for you and that somebody else.

I enjoyed the discipline and solitariness of long-distance running, which allowed me to escape from the hurly-burly of school life.
Running Distance School
In general, in all my films, i choose to create a certain mistrust, rather than claiming that what i'm showing onscreen is an accurate reproduction of reality. i want people to question what they are seeing onscreen. in the same way as i used the narrator, i also used black and white, because it creates a distance toward what's being seen. i see the film as an artifact rather than a reliable reconstruction of a reality that we cannot know.
Distance Black And White Reality
It is the quality of patriotism to be jealous and watchful, to observe all secret machinations, and to see publick dangers at a distance. the true lover of his country is ready to communicate his fears, and to sound the alarm, whenever he perceives the approach of mischief. but he sounds no alarm, when there is no enemy; he never terrifies his countrymen till he is terrified himself. the patriotism, therefore, may be justly doubted of him, who professes to be disturbed by incredibilities.
Country Distance Jealous
Interstate highways dull the reality of place and distance almost as effectively as jetliners do: i loathe their scary monotony.
