A quotation from McCarthy, Cormac

You think when you wake up in the mornin yesterday dont count. But yesterday is all that does count. What else is there? Your life is made out of the days it’s made out of. Nothin else. You might think you could run away and change your name and I dont know what all. Start over. And then one mornin you wake up and look at the ceilin and guess who’s layin there?

Cormac McCarthy (1933-2023) American novelist, playwright, screenwriter
No Country for Old Men (2005)

Often described as a “ #philosopher”, she referred to herself according to her profession: #professor of #political #theory, or political theorist. Her refusal of #philosophy is notably evoked in Condition de l'homme moderne where she considers that "the major part of political philosophy since #Plato could easily be interpreted as a series of attempts to discover the theoretical foundations and the practical means of a definitive #escape from #politics.
