There is no God and we are his prophets. - Cormac McCarthy, The Road

"You forget what you want to remember, and you remember what you want to forget."

"Carry the fire."

"Then he just knelt in the ashes. He raised his face to the paling day. Are you there? he whispered. Will I see you at the last? Have you a neck by which to throttle you? Have you a heart? Damn you eternally have you a soul? Oh God, he whispered, Oh God."

"Keep a little fire burning; however small, however hidden."

"Just remember that the things you put into your head are there forever, he said. You might want to think about that.You forget some things, dont you?Yes. You forget what you want to remember and you remember what you want to forget."
