More quotes by 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
His own life seemed so solitary, a fragile column supporting nothing amidst the wreckage of the years.
Carson McCullers
The most fatal thing a man can do is try to stand alone.
Carson McCullers
While Time, The endless idiot, runs screaming round the world.
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
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
Death is the great gamer with a sleeve of tricks.
Carson McCullers
Next to music beer was best.
Carson McCullers
How can the dead be truly dead when they still live in the souls of those who are left behind?
Carson McCullers
Love is the main generator of all good writing... Love, passion, compassion, are all welded together.
Carson McCullers
In his face there came to be a brooding peace that is seen most often in the faces of the very sorrowful or the very wise. But still he wandered through the streets of the town, always silent and alone.
Carson McCullers
I am not meant to be alone and without you who understands.
Carson McCullers
There are the lover and the beloved, but these two come from different countries.
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 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
Her face felt like it was scattered in pieces and she could not keep it straight. The feeling was a whole lot worse than being hungry for any dinner, yet it was like that. I want--I want--I want--was all that she could think about--but just what this real want was she did no know.
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
Maybe when people longed for a thing that bad the longing made them trust in anything that might give it to them.
Carson McCullers
I think we look for the differences in people because it makes us less lonely.
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
