More quotes by Carson McCullers
Next to music beer was best.
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
There was hope in him, and soon perhaps the outline of his journey would take form.
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
Passion is more important than justice.
Carson McCullers
The writer must hew the phantom rock.
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
We are homesick most for the places we have never known.
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 seed of the idea is developed by both labor and the unconscious, and the struggle that goes on between them.
Carson McCullers
The people dreamed and fought and slept as much as ever. And by habit they shortened their thoughts so that they would not wander out into the darkness beyond tomorrow.
Carson McCullers
The Heart is a Lonely Hunter.
Carson McCullers
Resentment is the most precious flower of poverty.
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
The closest thing to being cared for is to care for someone else.
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
Coming down was the hardest part of any climbing.
Carson McCullers
A writer soon discovers he has no single identity but lives the lives of all the people he creates and his weathers are independent of the actual day around him. I live with the people I create and it has always made my essential loneliness less keen.
Carson McCullers
There is no stillness like the quiet of the first cold nights in the fall.
Carson McCullers
