I felt early on I wasn't going to be a respectable citizen. ~ Cormac McCarthy

" And that is when I know… that is when I understand that it’s better to feel the ache inside me like demons scratching at my heart than it is to feel numb, the way a dead body feels when you touch it. It’s better to wait for the beautiful things… to stare at them for as long as they last… to hold on as tight as you can before they disappear. And it might hurt so bad inside… but it’s better to wait for the next beautiful thing than never look for any again. "
