The quote from Cormac McCarthy's "Cities of the Plain" reflects on the nature of desire and loss. It suggests that the things we yearn for deeply are often fleeting and out of reach, leaving us with a sense of emptiness. In contrast, the aspects of life we wish to forget or discard often gain an unexpected strength and resilience, surviving beyond our intentions. This presents a poignant observation about the unpredictability of what we value.
