    This is a damned fine thread. Thanks to those who've contributed here.

    I'm on the road and away from my books, dammit. But "The House of the Spirits" by Isabel Allende changed my life, albeit only to a modest degree. But still...like Cormac McCarthy, genius resides on every page. Can't remember any exact quotes though...except the first line...Barrabas came to us by sea, the child Clara wrote in her delicate calligraphy....

    "Her bouquet cleaved his hardened ... shell. And fondled his muscled heart. He embibed her glistening spell, just before the other shoe ... fell."

    “A duck hunter is truth with freezing feet, beauty in long flannels, wisdom in a gale, and the hope of the future with nature as his God.” — Charley Dickey

    “The plains are afloat in mysterious space, and the winds come straight from heaven. Anyone alone in the plains turns into a mystic. The plains had always been a place of dreams, but with horses they were more so. Something happens to a man when he ggets on a horse, in a country where he can ride at a run forever; it is quite easy to ascend to an impression of living in a myth. He either feels like a god or feels closer to God.” — William Brandon

    “He was always to be seen in serene afternoons haunting the river ... His fishing was not a sport, nor solely a means of subsistence, but a sort of solemn sacrament and withdrawal from the world, just as the aged read their Bibles.” — Henry Thoreau

    This was the first thing that popped into my head.

    Seriously, though, this is a great thread topic, IMO. I'm going to have to think about this one.
