“People were always getting ready for tomorrow. I didn’t believe in that. Tomorrow wasn’t getting ready for them. It didn’t even know they were there.”
“I guess not.”
“Even if you knew what to do you wouldn’t know what to do. You wouldn’t know if you wanted to do it or not. Suppose you were the last one left? Suppose you did that to yourself?”
“Do you wish you would die?”
“No. But I might wish I had died. When you’re alive you’ve always got that ahead of you.”
“Or you might wish you’d never been born.”
“Well. Beggars can’t be choosers.”
“You think that would be asking too much.”
“What’s done is done. Anyway, it’s foolish to ask for luxuries in times like these.”
-From The Road by Cormac McCarthy
