15 pieces of Wisdom from No Country For Old Men

Sat opposite Anton Chigurh with a silenced shotgun pointed at him, Carson Wells plucks up the courage to ask the question we've all wanted someone to ask: "Do you have any idea how crazy you are?"

Crazy, for sure. But intelligent also. And given there's a fine line between genius and insanity, we make no apologies for including the musings of a murderous madman in our pearls of wisdom from No Country For Old Men.

Fortunately we have also included astute foresight from the rather more balanced characters, too...
