The Road by Cormac McCarthy | Book Review | thegirlsawthecomet

Just remember that the things you put in your head are there forever, he said. You might want to think about that. (11)

This was the perfect day of his childhood. This the day to shape the days upon. (12)

To which he and the stars were common satellite. Like the great pendulum in its rotunda scribing through the long day movements of the universe of which you may say it knows nothing and yet know it must. (14)

The dream bore the look of sacrifice but he thought differently. He did not take care of her and she died alone somewhere in the dark and there is no other dream nor other waking world and there is no other tale to tell. (32)

A person who had no one would be well advised to cobble together some passable ghost. Breathe it into being and coax it along with words of love. Offer it each phantom crumb and shield it from harm with your body. (59)

A creation perfectly evolved to meet its own end. (60)
