More quotes by Carson McCullers
I am not meant to be alone and without you who understands.
Carson McCullers
The writer must hew the phantom rock.
Carson McCullers
Love is a joint experience between two persons -- but the fact that it is a joint experience does not mean that it is a similar experience to the two people involved.
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 value and quality of any love is determined solely by the lover himself.
Carson McCullers
Love is the main generator of all good writing... Love, passion, compassion, are all welded together.
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
The seed of the idea is developed by both labor and the unconscious, and the struggle that goes on between them.
Carson McCullers
For you see, when us people who know run into each other that's an event. It almost never happens. Sometimes we meet each other and neither guesses that the other is one who knows. That's a bad thing. It's happened to me a lot of times. But you see there are so few of us.
Carson McCullers

Carson McCullers
She was afraid of these things that made her suddenly wonder who she was, and what she was going to be in the world, and why she was standing at that minute, seeing a light, or listening, or staring up into the sky: alone.
Carson McCullers
There is no stillness like the quiet of the first cold nights in the fall.
Carson McCullers
Doctors, by God washing their hands, looking out windows, fiddling with dreadful things while you are stretched out on a table or half undressed on a chair.
Carson McCullers
Death is the great gamer with a sleeve of tricks.
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
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
Once you have lived with another, it is a great torture to have to live alone.
Carson McCullers
The writer is by nature a dreamer - a conscious dreamer.
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
Resentment is the most precious flower of poverty.
Carson McCullers
