Carson McCullers
Image
I do not have any home. So why should I be homesick?
Carson McCullers
Image
Love is the main generator of all good writing... Love, passion, compassion, are all welded together.
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
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

Carson McCullers
Image
There are the lover and the beloved, but these two come from different countries.
Carson McCullers
Image
We are homesick most for the places we have never known.
Carson McCullers
Image
A most mediocre person can be the object of a love which is wild, extravagant, and beautiful as the poison lillies of the swamp.
Carson McCullers
Image
Once you have lived with another, it is a great torture to have to live alone.
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
The people dreamed and fought and slept as much as ever. And by habit they shortened their thoughts so that they would not wander out into the darkness beyond tomorrow.
Carson McCullers
Image
There was hope in him, and soon perhaps the outline of his journey would take form.
Carson McCullers
Image
Resentment is the most precious flower of poverty.
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.
