The Heart is a lonely hunter with only one desire! To find some lasting comfort in the arms of anothers fire...driven by a desperate hunger to the arms of a neon light, the heart is a lonely hunter when there's no sign of love in sight!
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
Image
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.

The most fatal thing a man can do is try to stand alone.
Carson McCullers
Image
Love is the main generator of all good writing... Love, passion, compassion, are all welded together.
Carson McCullers
