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?

More quotes by Carson McCullers
There was hope in him, and soon perhaps the outline of his journey would take form.
Carson McCullers
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
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
I think we look for the differences in people because it makes us less lonely.
Carson McCullers
The music left only this bad hurt in her, and a blankness. She could not remember any of the symphony, not even the last few notes. She tried to remember, but no sound at all came to her. Now that it was over there was only her heart like a rabbit and this terrible hurt.
Carson McCullers
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
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
Coming down was the hardest part of any climbing.
Carson McCullers
But all the time-no matter what she was doing-there was music.
Carson McCullers
The closest thing to being cared for is to care for someone else.
Carson McCullers
Death is the great gamer with a sleeve of tricks.
Carson McCullers
The value and quality of any love is determined solely by the lover himself.
Carson McCullers
Once you have lived with another, it is a great torture to have to live alone.
Carson McCullers
Passion is more important than justice.
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
I was like a cat always climbing the wrong tree.
Carson McCullers
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
Resentment is the most precious flower of poverty.
Carson McCullers
The writer is by nature a dreamer - a conscious dreamer.
Carson McCullers
I do not have any home. So why should I be homesick?
Carson McCullers
