Image
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.
Carson McCullers
Image
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
Image
While Time, The endless idiot, runs screaming round the world.
Carson McCullers
Image
A writer soon discovers he has no single identity but lives the lives of all the people he creates and his weathers are independent of the actual day around him. I live with the people I create and it has always made my essential loneliness less keen.
Carson McCullers
Image
I'm not explaining this right. What happened was this. There were these beautiful feelings and loose little pleasures inside me. And this woman was something like an assembly line for my soul. I run these little pieces of myself through her and I come out complete. Now do you follow me?
Carson McCullers
Image
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
Image
And the curt truth is that, in a deep secret way, the state of being loved is intolerable to many.
Carson McCullers
Image
I have never gone to a doctor in my adult life, feeling instinctively that doctors meant either cutting or, just as bad, diet.
Carson McCullers
Image
There is no stillness like the quiet of the first cold nights in the fall.
Carson McCullers
Image
Once you have lived with another, it is a great torture to have to live alone.
Carson McCullers
Image
But look what the Church has done to Jesus during the last two thousand years. What they have made of Him. How they have turned every word He spoke for their own vile ends. Jesus would be framed and in jail if he was living today.
Carson McCullers
Image
I am not meant to be alone and without you who understands.
Carson McCullers
Image
The Heart is a Lonely Hunter.
Carson McCullers
Image
There's nothing that makes you so aware of the improvisation of human existence as a song unfinished. Or an old address book.
Carson McCullers
Image
The theme is the theme of humiliation, which is the square root of sin, as opposed to the freedom from humiliation, and love, which is the square root of wonderful.
Carson McCullers
Image
How can the dead be truly dead when they still live in the souls of those who are left behind?
Carson McCullers
Image
Sometimes this fellow's music was like little colored pieces of crystal candy, and other times it was the softest, saddest thing she had ever imagined about.
Carson McCullers
Image
the way i need you is a loneliness i cannot bear.
Carson McCullers
Image
But all the time-no matter what she was doing-there was music.

We are homesick most for the places we have never known.
