More From Cormac McCarthy

A lot of us grow up and we grow out of the literal interpretation that we get when we're children, but we bear the scars all our life. whether they're scars of beauty or scars of ugliness, it's pretty much in the eye of the beholder.

And be grateful. our scars have the power to remind us that the past was real.

We all have our scars. that's what falling is love is all about: revealing your scars to somebody who then loves you anyway.
Fall Love You Love Is
Power properly understood is nothing but the ability to achieve purpose... one of the great problems of history is that the concepts of love and power have usually been contrasted as opposites --- polar opposites --- so that love is identified with a resignation of power, and power with a denial of love... what is needed is a realization that power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.

We indians do not teach that there is only one god. we know that everything has power, including the most inanimate, inconsequential things. stones have power. a blade of grass has power. trees and clouds and all our relatives in the insect and animal world have power. we believe we must respect that power by acknowledging it's presence. by honoring the power of the spirits in that way, it becomes our power as well. it protects us.

I used many times to touch my own chest and feel, under its asthmatic quiver, the engine of the heart and lungs and blood and feel amazed at what i sensed was the enormity of the power i possessed. not magical power, but real power. the power simply to go on, the power to endure, that is power enough, but i felt i had also the power to create, to add, to delight, to amaze and to transform.

I started acting at seven years old. it took me 20 years to understand that if i was going to make my dreams a reality, i had to take the reigns. i had to learn something about being productive and being self what's the word i'm looking for? self-sufficient, but i had to be productive at all costs and i had to make product.
Dream Reality Self
The major adventure is to claim your authentic, true being, which is not culturally given to you. the culture will not explain to you how to be a real human being. it will tell you how to be banker, politician, indian chief, masseuses, actress, whatever, but it will not give you true being.

I have no doubt that given a real choice, the vast majority of muslims and arabs, like everyone else will choose a free society over a fear society.
