The Road / Cormac McCarthy

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, don't you?
Yes. You forget what you want to remember and you remember what you want to forget.
Cormac McCarthy, The Road
"To live a creative life we must lose our fear of being wrong." Joseph Chilton Pearce

"If you press me to tell why I loved him, I feel that this cannot be expressed,
except by answering: Because it was he, because it was I."
Michel de Montaigne, "Of Friendship"

Chapter 2: Seeing

"As soon as you forget the naturally obvious and construct an artificial obvious, then you too will see deer."
Stewart Edward White

The lover can see, and the knowledgeable. ... The point is that I just don't know what the lover knows; I just can't see the artificial obvious that those in the know construct.
Annie Dillard, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek

What do you see in the one you love? You must love and know that person quite well because Emily asked me this. I told her I see his center in him.
