Cormac McCarthy: "The Sunset Limited"

“I got what I needed instead of what I wanted 
and that's just about the best kind of luck you can have.”

“I ain't got an original thought in my head. I
f it ain't got the scent of divinity to it, I ain't interested in it” 

"I think its what you do believe thats carrying you off, not what you don’t." 

"Black: “I ain’t a doubter, but I am a questioner.”

White: “What’s the difference?”

Black: “Well, I think a questioner wants the truth.  
The doubter wants to be told ‘there ain’t no such thing’."
