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
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
Comparing the Brooklyn that I know with Manhattan is like comparing a comfortable and complacent duenna to her more brilliant and neurotic sister.
Carson McCullers
His own life seemed so solitary, a fragile column supporting nothing amidst the wreckage of the years.
Carson McCullers
There was hope in him, and soon perhaps the outline of his journey would take form.
Carson McCullers
The memories of childhood have a strange shuttling quality, and areas of darkness ring the spaces of light. The memories of childhood are like clear candles in an acre of night, illuminating fixed scenes from surrounding darkness.
Carson McCullers
But all the time-no matter what she was doing-there was music.
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
I am not meant to be alone and without you who understands.
Carson McCullers
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
How can the dead be truly dead when they still live in the souls of those who are left behind?
Carson McCullers
Some men are heroes by nature in that they will give all that is in them without regard to the effort or to the personal returns.
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 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
Maybe when people longed for a thing that bad the longing made them trust in anything that might give it to them.
Carson McCullers
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
The seed of the idea is developed by both labor and the unconscious, and the struggle that goes on between them.
Carson McCullers
Once you have lived with another, it is a great torture to have to live alone.
Carson McCullers
the way i need you is a loneliness i cannot bear.
Carson McCullers
The closest thing to being cared for is to care for someone else.
Carson McCullers
