The world is quite ruthless in selecting between the dream and the reality, even where we will not.

He stood at the window of the empty cafe and watched the activities in the square and he said that it was good that God kept the truths of life from the young as they were starting out or else they'd have no heart to start at all.

“There's no such thing as life without bloodshed. I think the notion that the species can be improved in some way, that everyone could live in harmony, is a really dangerous idea. Those who are afflicted with this notion are the first ones to give up their souls, their freedom. Your desire that it be that way will enslave you and make your life vacuous.”

Reflections of Autumn

* * * *

“He thought that in the beauty of the world were hid a secret. He thought that the world’s heart beat at some terrible cost and that the world’s pain and its beauty moved in a relationship of diverging equity and that in this headlong deficit the blood of multitudes might ultimately be exacted for the vision of a single flower.” ― Cormac McCarthy, All the Pretty Horses

He lay a long time listening to the others breathing in their sleep while he contemplated the wildness about him, the wildness within.

In the end we all come to be cured of our sentiments. Those whom life does not cure, death will. The world is quite ruthless in selecting between the dream and the reality…Between the wish and the thing, the world lies waiting. Cormac McCarthy - All the Pretty Horses

Current 93 and Nick Cave - Patripassian

Ghosteen (the album by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds) makes a lot more sense when you've heard this, for instance

The thematic and stylistic parallels are undeniable

Also: did someone say Jesus Alone?

Yeah

...and he stood holding his hat and he called her his abuela and he said goodbye to her in Spanish and then turned and put on his hat and turned his wet face to the wind and for a moment he held out his hands as if to steady himself or as if to bless the ground there or perhaps as if to slow the world that was rushing away and seemed to care nothing for the old or the young or rich or poor or dark or pale or he or she. Nothing for their struggles, nothing for their names. Nothing for the living or the dead.
