A Quote

Re-reading No Country for Old Men by Cormac McCarthy, and came across this totally wicked sick quote that also totally didn't make it into the movie.  If you've seen the movie, it takes place during the part where Chigurh does the coin toss with the guy in the gas station.

Anything can be an instrument, Chigurh said.  Small things.  Things you wouldnt even notice.  They pass from hand to hand.  People dont pay attention.  And then one day there's an accounting.  And after that nothing is the same.  Well, you say.  It's just a coin.  For instance.  Nothing special there.  What could that be an instrument of?  You see the problem.  To separate the act from the thing.  As if the parts of some moment in history might be interchangeable with the parts of some other moment.  How could that be?  Well, it's just a coin.  Yes.  That's true.  Is it? (P. 57.)

Freakin' love Cormac McCarthy.
