Carson McCullers
I was like a cat always climbing the wrong tree.
Carson McCullers

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
Once you have lived with another, it is a great torture to have to live alone.
Carson McCullers
The Heart is a Lonely Hunter.
Carson McCullers
