More quotes by Carson McCullers
I do not have any home. So why should I be homesick?
Carson McCullers
A most mediocre person can be the object of a love which is wild, extravagant, and beautiful as the poison lillies of the swamp.
Carson McCullers
But all the time-no matter what she was doing-there was music.
Carson McCullers
The Heart is a Lonely Hunter.
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 see a green tree. And to me it is green. And you would call the tree green also. And we would agree on this. But is the colour you see as green the same colour I see as green?
Carson McCullers
Resentment is the most precious flower of poverty.
Carson McCullers
She was afraid of these things that made her suddenly wonder who she was, and what she was going to be in the world, and why she was standing at that minute, seeing a light, or listening, or staring up into the sky: alone.
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
I am not meant to be alone and without you who understands.
Carson McCullers
There is so much truth in children and so little self-consciousness. It always strikes me that they are so capable of losing and finding themselves and also losing and finding those things they feel close to.
Carson McCullers
The value and quality of any love is determined solely by the lover himself.
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
The most fatal thing a man can do is try to stand alone.
Carson McCullers
The closest thing to being cared for is to care for someone else.
Carson McCullers
Coming down was the hardest part of any climbing.
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
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
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
There's nothing that makes you so aware of the improvisation of human existence as a song unfinished. Or an old address book.
