More quotes by 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
The human heart is a lonely hunter-but the search for us southerners is more anguished.
Carson McCullers
The most fatal thing a man can do is try to stand alone.
Carson McCullers
Love is the main generator of all good writing... Love, passion, compassion, are all welded together.
Carson McCullers

Carson McCullers

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
Sometimes this fellow's music was like little colored pieces of crystal candy, and other times it was the softest, saddest thing she had ever imagined about.
Carson McCullers
The mind is like a richly woven tapestry in which the colors are distilled from the experiences of the senses, and the design drawn from the convolutions of the intellect.
Carson McCullers
While Time, The endless idiot, runs screaming round the world.
Carson McCullers
The closest thing to being cared for is to care for someone else.
Carson McCullers
I do not have any home. So why should I be homesick?
Carson McCullers
How can the dead be truly dead when they still live in the souls of those who are left behind?
Carson McCullers
There was hope in him, and soon perhaps the outline of his journey would take form.
Carson McCullers
The Heart is a Lonely Hunter.
