The mind is like a richly woven tapestry in which the colors are distilled from the experiences of the senses, and the design drawn from the convolutions of the intellect.

More quotes by Carson McCullers
When a person knows and can't make the others understand, what does he do?
Carson McCullers
We are homesick most for the places we have never known.
Carson McCullers
I do not have any home. So why should I be homesick?
Carson McCullers
Love is the main generator of all good writing... Love, passion, compassion, are all welded together.
Carson McCullers
The writer by nature of his profession is a dreamer and a conscious dreamer. He must imagine, and imagination takes humility, love and great courage. How can you create a character without live and the struggle that goes with love?
Carson McCullers
Death is the great gamer with a sleeve of tricks.
Carson McCullers
And the curt truth is that, in a deep secret way, the state of being loved is intolerable to many.
Carson McCullers
There are all these people here I don't know by sight or by name. And we pass alongside each other and don't have any connection. And they don't know me and I don't know them. And now I'm leaving town and there are all these people I will never know.
Carson McCullers
Passion is more important than justice.
Carson McCullers
I am not meant to be alone and without you who understands.
Carson McCullers
Southerners are the more lonely and spiritually estranged, I think, because we have lived so long in an artificial social system that we insisted was natural and right and just - when all along we knew it wasn't.
Carson McCullers
How can the dead be truly dead when they still live in the souls of those who are left behind?
Carson McCullers
His own life seemed so solitary, a fragile column supporting nothing amidst the wreckage of the years.
Carson McCullers
The Heart is a lonely hunter with only one desire! To find some lasting comfort in the arms of anothers fire...driven by a desperate hunger to the arms of a neon light, the heart is a lonely hunter when there's no sign of love in sight!
Carson McCullers
We are torn between nostalgia for the familiar and an urge for the foreign and strange. As often as not, we are homesick most for the places we have never known.
Carson McCullers
Her face felt like it was scattered in pieces and she could not keep it straight. The feeling was a whole lot worse than being hungry for any dinner, yet it was like that. I want--I want--I want--was all that she could think about--but just what this real want was she did no know.
Carson McCullers
The world is certainty a sudden place.
Carson McCullers
The Heart is a Lonely Hunter.
Carson McCullers
While Time, The endless idiot, runs screaming round the world.
Carson McCullers
I see a green tree. And to me it is green. And you would call the tree green also. And we would agree on this. But is the colour you see as green the same colour I see as green?
Carson McCullers
