Cormac McCarthy said that. I saw it earlier tonight at the bottom of a gapingvoid blog post.

And part of me wants to agree. Because the better, the higher the stakes, the scarier.

But a bigger part of me sees the word suicide and doesn't want anyone anywhere near anything that would make suicide a serious consideration, ever. Never ever.

And maybe that's because I've never done anything worth doing. Or maybe it's because I'm not Cormac McCarthy, because I don't write beautifully about scalping.
