More quotes by Carson McCullers
And the curt truth is that, in a deep secret way, the state of being loved is intolerable to many.
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
Next to music beer was best.
Carson McCullers
How can the dead be truly dead when they still live in the souls of those who are left behind?
Carson McCullers
the way i need you is a loneliness i cannot bear.

Carson McCullers

Carson McCullers

Carson McCullers
But no value has been put on human life it is given to us free and taken without being paid for. What is it worth? If you look around, at times the value may seem to be little or nothing at all. Often after you have sweated and tried and things are not better for you, there comes a feeling deep down in the soul that you are not worth much.
Carson McCullers

Carson McCullers
The human heart is a lonely hunter-but the search for us southerners is more anguished.
Carson McCullers
The value and quality of any love is determined solely by the lover himself.
Carson McCullers
