All the Pretty Horses - Cormac McCarthy

" - Can you ride or not? said Rawlins.
- Does a bear shit in the woods? Hell yes I can ride, I was riding when I fell off."

"In the gray twilight those retchings seemed to echo like the calls of some rude provisional species loosed upon that waste. Something imperfect and malformed lodged in the heart of being. A thing smirking deep in the eyes of grace itself like a gorgon in an autumn pool."

"A goodlookin horse is like a goodlookin woman, he said. They're always more trouble than what they're worth. What a man needs is just one that will get the job done."

"They have a long life, dreams. I have dreams now which I had as a young girl. They have an odd durability for something not quite real."

"Scars have the strange power to remind us that our past is real. The events that cause them can never be forgotten, can they?"

"Beware gentle knight. There is no greater monster than reason."

"- Then it can decide your price, he said.
- Some people don't have a price.
- That is true.
- What about those people?
- Those people die."
