The Heart is a Lonely Hunter.
Carson McCullers
The world is certainty a sudden place.
Carson McCullers

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
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

There is no stillness like the quiet of the first cold nights in the fall.
Carson McCullers
Nothing is so musical as the sound of pouring bourbon for the first drink on a Sunday morning. Not Bach or Schubert or any of those masters.
Carson McCullers
Next to music beer was best.
Carson McCullers
But the hearts of small children are delicate organs. A cruel beginning in this world can twist them into curious shapes.
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
