Quote by Cormac McCarthy

“The truth may often be carried about by those who themselves remain all unaware of it. They bear that which has weight and substance and yet for them has no name whereby it may be evoked or called forth. They go about ignorant of the true nature of their condition, such are the wiles of truth and such its stratagems.”

You'll never get there, but without it you won't get anywhere.”

“For the past several years, I have remained what others would consider underground.
