he would ride that trail in the moonlight..and the ghosts of the Comanches would pass all about him on their way to the other world..for a thing once set in motion has no ending in this world until the last witness has passed.

He was crying and the tears ran on his angry face and he called out to the broken day against them all and he called out to God to see what was before his eyes. Look at this, he called. Do you see? Do you see?

But he had already seen….
The boy lay with his face turned away from the light. His eyes were open. Billy called to him. As if he could not have gone far.

Do you know what my name is, farmboy? Do you know my name?
He turned his back on the boy…addressed the night.
In his dying perhaps the suitor will see that it was his hunger for mysteries that has undone him.

Before I name you completely to myself I will give you even yet a last chance to save yourself. I will let you walk, suitor. If walk you will.

Men speak of blind destiny…But what sort of destiny is that? Each act in this world from which there can be no turning back has before it another, and it another yet…we are free to act only upon what is given.

He passed his hand across the top of the table. As if he were making smooth something unseen before him.

A square shaft of light fell slant from the barred streetwindow above him and terminated out on the floor in a pale trapezoid. In the center of it like a thing displayed in a bent and veering cage sat a…housecat washing itself.

It looks a lot better from up here than it does down there, dont it…There's a lot of things look better at a distance.
Yeah?

I guess there are. The life you've lived, for one.
Yeah. Maybe what of it you aint lived yet, too.

John Grady…sat staring into the empty cup before him. There were grounds in the bottom of the cup and he swirled the cup and looked at them. Then he swirled them the other way as if he'd put them back the way they'd been.

I didnt mean I'd seen everthing, John Grady said…I just meant I'd seen things I'd as soon not of.
I know it. There's hard lessons in this world…when things are gone they're gone. They aint comin back.

People speak about what
is in store. But there is nothing in store. The day is made of what has come before. The world itself must be surprised at the
shape of that which appears. Perhaps even God.

Mexicans are eager to
reclaim their indian blood. But we do not want them. Most
particularly the Yaqui. The Yaqui have long memories.

The soul of Mexico is very old, said Quijada. Whoever claims
to know it is either a liar or a fool. Or both. Now that the
yankees have again betrayed them the Mexicans are eager to
reclaim their indian blood. But we do not want them. #McCarthy25 #TheBorderTrilogy #TheCrossing

“What's the news?
The old man…leaned across to…where the radio sat and turned it off…he said.Wars and rumors of wars.I dont know why I listen to it…wish I could get broke if it.”
And we too wake up to the same horror.

For the enmity of the world was newly
plain to him that day and cold and inameliorate as it must be
to all who have no longer cause except themselves to stand against it.
He looked for them for weeks but he found only shadow and rumor.

They knelt in the rain in a darkened city and he held his dying brother in his
amms but he could not see his face and he could not say his name. Somewhere among the black and dripping streets a dog howled. That was all.

Lastly she said that if women were drawn to rash men it was only that in their secret hearts they knew that a man who would not kill for them was of no use at all.
