## Metadata - Author: [[Cormac McCarthy]] - Full Title: The Passenger - Category: #books ## Highlights - Not every ectromelic hallucination who shows up in your boudoir on your birthday is out to get you. ([Location 87](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B09T9D8QY7&location=87)) - Ever thought about taking the veil? ([Location 95](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B09T9D8QY7&location=95)) - Their mouths open, their eyes devoid of speculation. ([Location 295](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B09T9D8QY7&location=295)) - When the bailiff raised his hand to swear her in she reached up and slapped him a big high-five. I dont think they’d seen that before.

You may have noticed a certain reticence in our man. It’s true that he does dangerous underwater work for high pay but it’s also true that he’s afraid of the depths. Well, you say. He has overcome his fears. Not a bit of it. He is sinking into a darkness he cannot even comprehend. Darkness and immobilizing cold. I enjoy talking about him if he does not. I’m sure you’d like to hear the sin and atonement part. That at the very least. He’s an attractive man. Women want to save him. But of course he’s beyond all that. What say you, Squire? How far off the mark? ([Location 456](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B09T9D8QY7&location=456)) - What the Squire has never understood is that forgiveness has a time line. While it’s never too late for revenge. ([Location 465](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B09T9D8QY7&location=465)) - God. The man’s a seducer of prelates and a suborner of the judiciary. He’s an habitual mailcandler and a practicing gelignitionary, a mathematical platonist and a molester of domestic yardfowl. Principally of the dominecker persuasion. A chickenfucker, not to put too fine a point on it. ([Location 498](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B09T9D8QY7&location=498))
